We meet all British Standards, including BS5839 and are BAFE-approved, so you know your system will be compliant and installed by competent experts.

Frequent Fire Alarm Questions
What are my Fire Risk Assessment obligations?
The FSO legislation states that the Responsible Person must make a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment (Article 9). Get this wrong and the Responsible Person can face an unlimited fine or up to two years in prison!
The good news is Beacon Detection can assist in getting your Risk Assessment done correctly. And help you understand the findings and recommendations.
Of course, we’ll work with you to implement those recommendations according to your budget. And a timeline that suits. So your assessor and insurance company stay on side!
How reliable will our Fire Alarm System be?
The disruption to every day trading caused by a faulty system can be chaotic. Worst case scenario, it affects your bottom line substantially…
At Beacon we only install quality equipment we know inside out. And maintain it properly. So it does the job it’s intended to do. Without the inconvenience of faults and breakdowns every 10 minutes…
To fulfil your duty of care to your employees and visitors you need a company you can trust. That’s why Beacon build trust along with a lasting business relationship. So you’re comfortable working with us. For years to come.
What should my Fire Alarm System include to protect staff and premises?
Your Fire Risk Assessment will inform you of the exact requirements to give you a system that is appropriate for your building and number of staff. It also covers your Fire Extinguishers.
It is essential to use qualified professionals (aka a Competent Person) to design and install the system to fully comply with the Risk Assessment and FSO.
Beacon Detection is BAFE approved. Our certified designs are then installed and commissioned by experienced engineers, who are also deemed as a Competent Person.
Even if your system was not installed by us, Beacon can still commission it for you to get it working the way you require.
How does my Fire Detection System link up to my Intruder Alarm?
You could opt for a simple, stand alone Fire Detection System but a sophisticated integrated system might be the better option.
Talk to us about a system integrating Intruder Alarm, CCTV, Access Control, Fire Detection and Emergency Lighting – call 0800 999 4668 for your free site survey.
Your Fire Alarm System can be linked to an Alarm Receiving Centre and to do this and be compliant, it should have its own monitoring equipment.
Do I really need a BAFE approved fire alarm installation company?
British Approvals for Fire Equipment (BAFE) schemes make it easy for a Responsible Person to fulfil their legal obligations. Because, by using a BAFE approved company, you’re certain you’ve done your due diligence and used a Competent Person… We will help you through all stages of compliance.
How important is Fire Alarm Maintenance?
The British Standards recommend that your Fire Detection and Alarm System is maintained by a competent company twice a year (sometimes four times a year in special circumstances).
All maintenance work by Beacon Detection is carried out to the BAFE Scheme SP203 which ensures compliance to British Standards. And all our service engineers are eligible as a Competent Person.
