Monitored Fire Alarms

Everyone knows that fire alarms are important to ensure a safe working environment, but what about when no one is there to raise the alarm? That’s where monitored fire alarms are essential.

When a fire breaks out in your building, it could take a long time before someone notices and raises the alarm, but with a monitored fire alarm system from Surrey Tech Services Ltd, the alarm is raised instantly. We provide this fire alarm type for businesses and buildings throughout London and the Home Counties – including Maidenhead, Slough and Guildford.

This means that not only is anyone in the building immediately aware of the danger, giving them time to escape safely, but it also means the emergency services can arrive quicker. As a result, your building and assets are more likely to be preserved than with a standard alarm requiring a passer-by to contact someone.

How does a monitored fire alarm system work?

So how does a monitored fire alarm system actually work? It begins with the triggering of the alarm as standard.

When a fire is detected, the system will send a signal to an alarm receiving centre (sometimes referred to as an ARC). The ARC contacts the fire brigade, as well as any specified keyholders, who can then react to the situation (local fire brigade response times may vary).

This is especially important in out-of-hours scenarios, usually during the night when business premises are left unattended, since the alarm is raised quickly as opposed to going unheeded.

Organising contractors was a daunting task for me, having never had to do this before. Not knowing where to begin, or what questions to ask, Martin and the team at Surrey Tech Services Ltd made it so easy for me. I appreciate that they arrive when they say they will and that we do not have to chase them. They explain the problem and solution clearly and quotes for any work arrive within a couple of days, if it cannot be done on the spot. For this reason, we now use Surrey Tech Services Ltd as our preferred supplier for all our electrical repairs.
