Fire alarm services in Horsham
Horsham's commercial premises include town-centre offices and shops and rented properties. Landlords and agents with several units often have systems installed at different times by different companies, which makes records and maintenance harder to manage. We can review what is there and help bring the records and servicing together.

Fire alarms in Horsham: common questions
I am a Horsham landlord. Does my building need a fire alarm?
It depends on the building, how it is let and used, the fire risk assessment and any licensing conditions. For houses in multiple occupation, local licensing conditions apply. Our HMO electrical and fire systems page explains the position in more detail.
Can you work in an occupied office or shop?
Yes. We agree access and working hours in advance, and where needed discuss work outside trading hours.
Do you cover the villages around Horsham?
Yes, we cover Broadbridge Heath, Southwater, Warnham, Rusper and the surrounding area. Send us the postcode and we will confirm.
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.
