Commercial Fire Alarm Systems
Fire detection and alarm systems for shops, offices, units and other commercial premises, with advice on what your premises need.
Bunker installs fire alarm systems for commercial premises across Glasgow and Central Scotland. A system can include smoke and heat detectors, manual call points, sounders and visual beacons, all linked to a fire alarm control panel. We'll advise on what your premises need and confirm the price before any work starts. Call 0141 478 0960 to talk it through.
What a commercial fire alarm system includes
- Smoke detectors to give early warning of a fire
- Heat detectors for kitchens and other areas where smoke detectors could cause false alarms
- Manual call points so anyone who spots a fire can raise the alarm
- Sounders and visual beacons to alert everyone in the building
- A control panel that shows where an alarm or fault has come from
What your premises need
In Scotland, fire safety duties for most non-domestic premises are set out in the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The people responsible for the premises need to carry out a fire safety risk assessment, and that assessment should guide the fire detection you need.
We'll look at your premises and advise on a system to suit. The Scottish Government publishes non-domestic fire safety guidance for dutyholders.
Optional monitoring
A fire alarm system can be connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre, which contacts your nominated keyholders when the alarm goes off.
Testing and maintenance
Once your system is in, we can look after testing and maintenance to keep it working properly.
