Conventional C-Tec Fire Alarm Installation.
Equipped with 7 smoke detectors and 2 manual call points this C-Tec Fire alarm was installed in a refurbished shop in Bickley, Bromley by Willow Fire and Security. (Note: Detector caps remain in place due to ongoing construction.) The builders left us a small recess for the fire alarm so it sat almost flush.
Even in a small shop, a fire alarm is essential for safety and legal compliance. Here’s why:
- Legal Requirement – UK fire safety regulations (such as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005) require businesses to have appropriate fire detection and warning systems.
- Early Detection – A fire alarm quickly detects smoke or heat, giving occupants more time to evacuate and reducing the risk of injury or death.
- Protection of Property – Early warning helps prevent extensive fire damage, potentially saving thousands in repairs and lost stock.
- Customer and Staff Safety – Even a small fire can create dangerous smoke and toxic gases. A fire alarm ensures everyone gets out safely.
- Insurance Compliance – Many insurance policies require a fire alarm system; not having one could affect claims.
- Peace of Mind – Knowing your shop is protected allows you to focus on running your business without worry.
