Fire alarms for homes
For most houses the right answer is mains-powered, interlinked smoke and heat detection: when one detector sounds, they all do. Heat detectors go in kitchens, where smoke alarms cause nuisance alarms; smoke detection covers escape routes and living areas.
- Rented property — landlords have specific smoke and carbon monoxide alarm duties, and alarms are checked as part of wider compliance
- Extensions and loft conversions — building control usually expects detection to be upgraded as part of the work
- Holiday lets — insurers commonly make working, interlinked alarms a condition of cover
Fire alarm systems for businesses
Commercial and mixed-use buildings — a shop with flats above, a café, a block of units — usually need a panel-based system split into zones, so when it activates you know where. We install, commission, test and document these systems, and label the zones clearly on the panel.
CCTV
Cameras positioned to cover what matters — driveways, entrances, yards and outbuildings — with cable run discreetly rather than stapled across the front of the house. We set the system up on your phone before we leave and show you how to find and export footage.
- Homes — front and rear coverage, driveway and garage
- Businesses and farms — entrances, stock, yards and plant
- Holiday lets — external coverage only, positioned with guests' privacy in mind

Questions we get asked
Before you call.
Do I need interlinked smoke alarms?
For most homes it's the recommended standard, and it's often required for extensions, loft conversions and new builds. Interlinking means an alarm in one room sounds throughout the house.
Can you test and service an existing fire alarm system?
Yes — including zoned commercial panels. Testing is documented so you have a record for insurers and inspections.
Where should CCTV cameras go?
Where they cover entry points and valuables without pointing into neighbours' property. We'll walk the site with you and agree positions before fitting.
Can I view the cameras on my phone?
Yes. We set the app up before we leave and show you how to view live and recorded footage.
