Fire alarm services in Worthing
Worthing's premises range from seafront restaurants and hospitality venues to warehouses and industrial units, including those around Dominion Way. Hospitality premises raise particular design questions, such as cooking, steam and sleeping accommodation, while warehouses raise questions about height, racking and dust. These affect the choice of detection and where it goes.

Fire alarms in Worthing: common questions
Does a restaurant or café need a different system from an office?
Often the detection choice is different because of cooking and steam, and because some premises have sleeping accommodation above or alongside. The fire strategy and risk assessment govern what is needed. We design to suit the premises.
We get frequent false alarms. Can you help?
We can inspect the system, review the fault and alarm history and advise what to change. Causes include detector type and position, cooking, steam, dust and building works, so we investigate first.
Do you cover Goring-by-Sea and Durrington?
Yes. Send us the postcode of the premises 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.
