Our Fire Alarm Services
Fire Alarm Design & Installation
We design and install fire alarm systems for domestic and commercial properties of all sizes. From standalone battery-operated detectors for homes and small flats through to conventional and fully addressable systems for offices, warehouses and industrial premises — every installation is designed to meet the specific needs of the building and comply with current UK fire safety legislation. We use industry-leading equipment and carry out every installation with minimal disruption to occupants.
Fire Alarm Maintenance & Servicing
A fire alarm system is only effective if it works when it's needed. Regular servicing and testing is a legal requirement for most commercial premises and strongly recommended for all properties. Portcullis provide planned maintenance programmes for fire alarm systems across Cheshire — keeping your system fully operational, legally certified, and ready. We can set up a maintenance schedule so you never miss a service date.
Fire Alarm Compliance Testing & Certification
We carry out fire alarm compliance testing and issue the certification required by insurers, local authorities and fire risk assessors. All testing is carried out to BS 5839 standards by qualified engineers, with clear documentation provided on completion. If your system fails a test or requires remedial work, our compliance team can carry out the necessary work straight away.
Fire Alarm Upgrades
If your existing fire alarm system is outdated, no longer compliant, or simply not providing adequate coverage for your building, we can assess what's required and upgrade accordingly. This includes replacing conventional systems with addressable systems, adding detection zones, upgrading control panels, and integrating with other building safety systems.
Why Choose Us
BS 5839 Compliant
Every system we install meets current BS 5839 fire safety standards. You'll receive the certification to prove it on completion.
