FIRE ALARMS AND EMERGENCY LIGHTING

We install Fire Alarms and Emergency Lighting to suit your premises. There are various choices and complexities of systems and it can be difficult to know what to choose.

Depending on the type and size of your premises we can help you decide on what is required and recommend the best system for your installation, whether you simply require exit signage or addressable multi-zone fire alarm systems and emergency lighting. We will then liaise with the fire alarm/emergency lighting manufacturers to provide the right equipment, in the right place, which will be fully commissioned and issued with the manufacturer's test certificates.

Or if you are simply upgrading, repairing or extending your current system we will use your current manufacturers equipment where possible so you can be sure everything is compatible.

TESTING AND INSPECTING

All our installations are tested and inspected to BS 7671 IEE Wiring regulations. The company is registered with the NICEIC. Test certificates will be issued on completion of each project.

We can also carry out Periodic Inspections to report on the condition of your premises electrical installation to ensure that it has not deteriorated with time and age and is in a safe condition. Periodic inspections are also usually required by insurance companies to ensure that your electrical system is kept to a suitable standard and in good condition to prevent overloading which can cause fires or electric shocks to your employees. You can carry out your own more regular risk assessments by visually inspecting the installation yourself, making sure there are no damaged wires or discolouration. If anything is found that looks unusual you can contact us and be assured that we will check out the system thoroughly and rectify any problems as required.

After the periodic inspection is complete we will explain whether or not there is any recommended remedial work required and provide you with a quotation for any works that need to be carried out.

It is advised that the following types of premises are tested at the following frequency:

The reports will include a summary of the inspection report stating the condition of the installation including:

• Adequacy of earthing and bonding
• Suitability of switchgear / control gear ie consumer unit
• Type of wiring and its condition
• Serviceability of equipment ie switches, sockets, light fittings
• Presence of adequate identification / notices
• Extent of wear and tear, damages etc
• Any changes in use of premises which may lead to different requirements

PORTABLE APPLIANCE TESTING

An additional service we can offer our clients is PA Testing for compliance to the Electricity at Work regulations. A combination of regulations state that every employer shall ensure that work equipment is maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.

The frequency of inspections can vary from environment to usage intervals. In general it is suggested the frequency is:

Portable Appliances = Vacuums, heaters, kettles
Movable Equipment > 18kg and not fixed = Air conditioning unit on wheels
Handheld Equipment intended to be held during normal use = Drill, hair dryer
Stationary Equipment < 18kg and not provided with handles = Refrigerators, drinks machines
Fixed Equipment that is fastened/secured in a specific location = Bathroom heaters, towel rails
IT Equipment = Computers, Printers, Powerpacks, VDUs
Extension Leads = Use should be avoided where possible but tested as portable appliances
Detachable Flexes must also be tested separately = PC lead, VDU lead

In addition to the above you can also do your own weekly visual test by checking the appliances flex, plug top, environment and suitability of job. If any problems are found do not hesitate to give us a call and we will ensure that your equipment is working correctly. When faults are found we will repair your appliance where applicable, ie replace flex, plug tops, fuses etc but any items found faulty / defective, will be brought to your attention and deemed unusable.
