Fire alarm services in Crawley
Crawley's business areas, including Manor Royal, contain offices, workshops, warehouses and industrial units. Larger or multi-tenant buildings often need the system to be zoned and documented clearly so that responsible persons for different tenancies can understand it. Industrial and warehouse spaces bring particular design questions, such as ceiling height, dust and the type of detection suited to the environment.
Fire Alarm Design
Design for industrial units, warehouses and multi-tenant offices, with attention to ceiling heights, environmental conditions and how tenancies are divided.

Fire alarms in Crawley: common questions
Do you work on industrial estates and business parks?
Yes. We cover Manor Royal and the surrounding commercial areas. The right detection for a warehouse or workshop can differ from an office, so we look at the space and how it is used before specifying.
Our unit is part of a larger building with a shared system. Who is responsible?
That depends on the lease, the building management arrangements and who the responsible persons are. We can look at the system and its documentation, but we do not give legal advice on responsibility, so check with your landlord, agent or legal adviser as well.
Are you able to take over a system installed by another company at our Crawley site?
We will consider it. We start with an initial assessment of the system's condition, equipment, documentation and maintainability, and agree any remedials, exclusions, servicing arrangements and the start date with you first. Wireless and hybrid fire alarm systems are outside our service, so we do not take on their maintenance.
Do the same standards apply in every building?
No. BS 5839-1 (current edition BS 5839-1:2025) is the code of practice for non-domestic premises and BS 5839-6 is for domestic premises. Which is relevant, and what category of system is needed, depends on the building, its use, the fire strategy and the risk assessment.
