A fire alarm system must be designed around how a building is actually used. It’s not just about fitting detectors — it’s about choosing the correct alarm category, placing devices properly, and making sure the system meets current fire safety law.
We provide fire alarm installation services for commercial and domestic properties across London and Luton, delivering systems that are practical, compliant, and suitable for inspection by local authorities and insurers.
Fire alarm systems in England are required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which places a duty on the Responsible Person to provide appropriate fire detection and warning.
The Fire Safety Act 2021, brought fully into effect in 2022, reinforced fire safety responsibilities for multi-occupied residential buildings. Local councils in London and Luton now expect fire alarm systems to match the level of risk identified in the Fire Risk Assessment, rather than relying on generic installations.
Our installations are designed to reflect:

This ensures the system works properly and meets compliance expectations.
In the UK, fire alarm systems in residential and non-residential buildings are classified into different grades based on their design, components, and level of protection. These grades are defined in BS 5839-6, the British Standard for fire detection and fire alarm systems in domestic premises.
Choosing the right grade of fire alarm is essential for both safety and legal compliance — especially in HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation), rented properties, and premises with sleeping accommodation.
Grade A High Level Fire Protection
Grade A systems are designed for high-risk buildings such as:
Key Features of Grade A:
Grade A provides a similar level of protection as commercial fire alarm systems and is designed to ensure early warning, full coverage, and central control.
Grade D – Standard Domestic Protection
Grade D systems are commonly used in standard domestic properties, such as:
Key Features of Grade D:
Grade D alarms are ideal for everyday homes, offering sufficient early warning in case of fire, especially at night.
What’s the Difference Between Grade A and Grade D?
Feature | Grade A | Grade D |
Control Panel | Yes | No |
Type of System | Wired with backup & control | Mains-powered, interlinked |
Target Property Type | High-risk buildings (HMOs, care homes) | Standard homes, small flats |
Cost & Complexity | Higher | Lower |
Professional Installation | Required | Recommended |
