Fire alarms in Rochester and Medway
Rochester's historic High Street and the streets around the cathedral and the castle are a conservation area with many listed buildings, where a wireless fire alarm avoids chasing cables through period walls. Chatham and Gillingham have Victorian terraces split into flats and a large student rental market around the Universities at Medway campus; Medway Council licenses larger HMOs and asks for the BS 5839-6 fire alarm certificate. Newer developments at Rochester Riverside and Chatham Maritime run communal BS 5839-1 systems that need servicing every six months, and the shops, pubs, restaurants and offices along Chatham High Street and in Gillingham town centre need a panel system matched to their fire risk assessment, which Kent Fire and Rescue Service can ask to see. We design to the right category, install around residents and trading hours, take over servicing of existing systems of any make and leave the certificate on the day.
