2. Lives can be saved with the right fire alarm installation in London, it can prevent a disastrous
business fire and save business owners thousands of pounds, there are many horror stories that start
and end with fires whether accidental or purposefully set but it does not do to dwell on the disaster.
Instead, one can focus on how to prevent injury, death and damage by asking the right questions like
what type of system a business really needs and how can business owners be sure they are picking
the right installation company?
Finding the right professional
Whether a fire detection and warning system is being newly installed or the system of an existing
building needs to be upgraded, business owners need to have a professional to take care of all the
elements from assessment to design and finally installation. An expert is necessary because business
owners can be sure that all requirements and legal rules are upheld throughout the entire process,
and the responsibility of signing off on safety lies with the installer. Professionals are also able to
design and install a system that will last as well as take care of any maintenance that needs to take
place.
Knowing what type of system needs to be installed is something that an expert will be able to advise
on as well as provide an indication as to which areas need early detection systems that business
owners may not have thought of themselves, expert knowledge like this comes from extensive
training which at the end of the day is what business owners are paying them for.

3. Monitoring is key
Early fire detection and warning systems are not going to help anyone if no one is around to hear it,
like at night when business is closed and all the staff are at home, a small flame can become a
roaring blaze in a matter of minutes and if no one is around to hear the alarm screeching wildly,
there is no point, this is where a professional monitoring system comes in.
There are installation companies that offer a 24hr monitoring service who will be able to remotely
see when an alarm is triggered and will contact the fire department on behalf of the business.
Picking the right company
There are things business owners should insist upon when choosing an alarm installation company:
Certifications - There are various certifications that fire alarm service companies can achieve which
give business owners peace of mind that they know what they’re doing. These certifications are in
fact required by UK law and many insurers will need proof of said certifications in order to insure for
fire damages.
Services - services like monitoring are a big help for the peace of mind of business owners but more
importantly, maintenance is imperative in the long run because maintaining the new system is as
important as getting it in the first place and is also a legal requirement for businesses to remain
within fire law compliance. The maintenance supplier is often the same company that did the
installation.
