Types of Fire Alarm Systems
Fire alarm systems aren’t one-size-fits-all. The right setup depends on your property, occupancy type, and legal requirements. At GMSE Fire & Security, we supply and install a wide range of fire alarm systems to suit every need.
Conventional Fire Alarms
These systems divide your building into zones. When a detector is triggered, the control panel identifies the affected zone — ideal for smaller or lower-risk properties.
Addressable Fire Alarms
More advanced systems where each device has its own address, allowing precise identification of the trigger location. Ideal for large or complex buildings.
Wireless Fire Alarms
A flexible option with no cabling — quicker to install and perfect for listed buildings or where disruption needs to be minimal.
Monitored Fire Alarms
These systems connect to a 24/7 monitoring centre, ensuring the fire brigade is alerted even if no one is on-site.
We’ll guide you through the best system for your property and ensure it meets all relevant UK fire safety standards.
Commercial Fire Alarm Services
A reliable fire alarm system isn’t just good practice — it’s a legal requirement for most commercial premises. Whether you manage an office, warehouse, school, retail space or hospitality venue, GMSE Fire & Security can design, install, and maintain a fire alarm system tailored to your building and risk profile.

Fire Alarm FAQs
-
You can install basic domestic smoke alarms, but full fire alarm systems — especially for commercial use — must be installed by a qualified fire alarm installer to ensure legal compliance and proper functionality.
-
Fire alarm installations in the UK must follow BS 5839 standards. Commercial buildings must have a suitable fire detection and warning system, and installation should be carried out by a competent fire alarm company.
-
Yes — most workplaces are legally required to have a working fire detection system under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Failing to comply can lead to fines or closure.
-
Commercial fire alarm systems should be tested weekly and serviced by a professional at least every six months. Residential systems should be tested monthly, with annual servicing for more complex setups.
-
Maintenance is the ongoing check to ensure your system works (like weekly tests), while servicing is a more thorough inspection by an engineer, typically done twice a year for commercial fire alarms.
-
If your system is over 10 years old, frequently faults, or no longer meets safety regulations, it may be time to upgrade or replace it.
-
Yes — modern wireless fire alarm systems are highly reliable, meet UK safety standards, and offer the added benefit of easier installation with minimal disruption.
-
Look for companies with fire alarm engineering expertise, strong reviews, maintenance packages, and knowledge of both domestic and commercial regulations - like GMSE Fire & Security.
