Fire alarm services in Guildford
Guildford's premises include offices and laboratories, such as those around the Surrey Research Park, retail premises in the town centre, and industrial units such as those at Slyfield. Laboratories and technical buildings can have special requirements, for example around ventilation, controlled areas and equipment that interfaces with the alarm, so the design needs input from the building's operators.

Fire alarms in Guildford: common questions
Do you cover Surrey as well as West Sussex?
We serve Guildford, Godalming, Cranleigh, Farnham and surrounding Surrey towns. Contact us with your postcode to confirm.
Our building has laboratories or controlled areas. Can the alarm be designed around them?
Yes. We discuss the operational constraints at survey and design so the system protects the building without interfering with how it must be run. Interfaces to ventilation or other systems are assessed case by case.
Can you maintain systems across several sites, including one in Guildford?
Possibly. Tell us the sites and systems and we will say what we can take on.
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.
