Fire Protection Systems

Safeguard your premises, people and business assets from the risks of fire

Most non-domestic buildings need a fire alarm to protect both life and property, and a professionally installed and maintained system is the safest and most reliable way of achieving this. Additionally, fire regulations in the UK under 'The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005' puts the requirement upon a building's 'responsible person' to carry out a fire risk assessment and manage any risks identified.

With over two decades of experience, our fire safety team can work with you to reduce your business risks providing you with the help you need. Whether you require specialist support to complete a fire risk assessment, undertake a fire safety audit, or the design, installation and ongoing maintenance of fire safety systems, Evotech Fire & Security are experienced in all aspects of fire safety.

Fire Alarms

From the design and installation of single zone fire alarm systems with manual call points and alarm sounders, to complex multi zoned monitored systems including automatic detection and fire suppression solutions, Evotech Fire & Security will ensure your fire alarm system meets BS 5839-1:2017 and your insurance requirements.

How often does a fire alarm system need to be serviced?
BS 5839 recommends fire alarm systems are inspected and serviced by an accredited professional at least once every 6 months. We recommend that more complex and large scale systems are serviced and inspected quarterly.

British Standards defines eight categories of fire alarm with each category falling under three different types of system – manual, life protection and property protection. Our fire safety engineers can review your operational requirements and specify the category of system that best suits your business risks.

Sprinklers

Sprinklers, and other automatic fire suppression systems (AFSS), can save lives, property and business assets. Evotech Fire & Security design, install and maintain quality-assured sprinkler systems specific to your exact requirements which will suppress a fire within seconds of it starting.

Our highly-trained technicians ensure appropriate systems are installed and maintained in line with the latest standards including Part B Building regulations, ensuring your building remains compliant and building occupants and property remain safe.

Emergency Lighting

It is a legal requirement for non-domestic buildings to be safe at all times, even in the event of a mains power failure, therefore, (nearly) all commercial buildings must have effective, emergency lighting fitted throughout.

Evotech Fire & Security design, install and maintain emergency lighting systems that will ensure your emergency exits and escape routes are fully illuminated in the event of a fire or mains power failure, and will keep your building fully compliant with the latest legislation and your insurance requirements.

Gas Suppression Systems

Gas suppression systems extinguish fires by reducing the oxygen content to below 15%, where most materials do not burn. Activated by sensors that detect the early presence of smoke, they can put out a fire when firefighting with water is not an option, for example, in data centres and IT server rooms.

Evotech Fire & Security can design and install the most appropriate system for your needs, and provide bespoke maintenance packages, to ensure your system works at optimal levels and remains compliant with all relevant legislation.

Dry Risers

It is a legal requirement that all dry riser installations are fully inspected and tested every 12 months, including a hydraulic pressure test (wet pressure test) using a fire service approved hose and water pump system.

Evotech Fire & Security provide a comprehensive service for the ongoing maintenance, testing and repair of all dry riser systems to BS 9990:2015 standards, which recommends that systems are also visually inspected every six months to ensure they are free from damage and defects.

Fire Extinguishers

Fire fighting equipment must be provided throughout buildings to safeguard occupants and visitors alike, and to comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Equipment must be routinely inspected and maintained to ensure it will work correctly in an emergency situation.

Our fully trained, BAFE accredited, fire extinguisher engineers have the expertise and specialist tools needed to maintain your equipment and carry out annual servicing to BS 5306-3:2017 standards.

Fire Doors

Fire doors play an essential role in providing passive fire safety protection and are an important safety feature of any occupied building, as they offer resistance to the spread of fire and smoke and help to provide safe means of escape. They must be installed and maintained in accordance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Evotech Fire & Security, install, maintain, and repair fire door solutions ensuring buildings are fully compliant with the latest legislation, local building regulations and your business insurance requirements.

Fire Training

Employers are legally required to provide information, instruction, and training to employees about fire precautions in the workplace.

Fire safety training should start with induction training on the first day of employment and continue in the form of regular refresher training, at least once a year, to ensure employees remain familiar with the fire safety arrangements in place and are reminded of actions to be taken in the event of fire in the workplace.

Evotech Fire & Security provide a comprehensive range of fire safety training courses, designed to support your business needs and operational requirements.

Fire Risk Assessment

Is it a legal requirement to do a fire risk assessment? 

Yes, non-domestic premises are required to have a documented fire risk assessment, which identifies the risks associated with fire, and sets out the corrective actions and further steps needed to alleviate those risks and reach an appropriate level of fire safety. If you are responsible for a building, for example an employer, owner or occupier of premises (apart from a private home), you need to make sure a suitably competent person completes a Fire Risk Assessment. 

Evotech Fire & Security can work with you to carry out a detailed fire risk assessment on your property, identify practical solutions to any risks identified, and provide all relevant documentation to ensure you are fully compliant.
