We have used Luke to carry out our FRA’s on approximately 30 HMO properties. Luke is extremely reliable and very commercial. He spent time educating our builders on how to ensure everything complied with regulations and it means we have very few findings on our properties due to Luke’s time and expertise. I could not recommend Luke enough.

Where applicable, written observations and compliance recommendations are provided to assist the responsible person in managing fire safety obligations. These maintenance activities are set out within our fire alarm maintenance contracts.
Our fire alarm systems ensure comprehensive coverage, addressing every area of your premises, including escape routes, common areas, and high-risk zones, as mandated by regulatory guidelines.
Reliable Fire Detection & Alarm Systems
Effective fire alarm systems use a combination of detection and warning devices to identify potential fires and alert building occupants.
Depending on the property and system requirements, fire alarm installations may include:
- Smoke detectors: Detect smoke particles that may indicate a developing fire.
- Heat detectors: Respond to changes in temperature and can be suitable for environments where smoke detectors may be unsuitable.
- Manual call points: Allow occupants to raise the alarm when they discover a fire.
- Fire alarm control panels: Monitor the system, indicate alarm conditions and identify relevant detection zones or devices.
- Audible and visual alarms: Provide warnings to occupants, including visual alarm devices where required.
Our contractors can advise on suitable fire alarm equipment based on the property’s layout, use and fire safety requirements.

Did you know that there are legal building regulations in the UK that specify fire alarm positioning in a building? In England and Wales, all residential properties must have:
- Smoke alarms on each storey as well as circulatory spaces (e.g., hallway or landing)
- One heat alarm in the kitchen spaces
- CE alarms are installed in any room containing a fuel-burning appliance or flue.
- All alarms must be interlinked
In commercial properties, fire detectors should be installed centrally on ceilings, in all escape routes, circulation areas and high-risk rooms.
Regular testing and maintenance are the best ways to ensure that your fire alarms are fully operational and the best place to alert the building occupants to fire risks.
Fire alarms should be tested regularly on a weekly basis by pressing the ‘test’ button.
It is also recommended that you conduct a monthly check for dust or debris that could affect the system’s performance, as well as replace the batteries annually, or as often as required.
