Who needs a fire alarm system
A shop, office, workshop or rented building needs a fire alarm system when standalone smoke alarms cannot cover the whole premises.
- Shops and officesStaff and visitors need a panel, detectors and sounders so a fire warning reaches every floor at once.
- Landlords with several letsA landlord with several dwellings in one building needs a linked system so a fire in one unit warns the rest.
- Workshops and storesStock rooms and large open floors need zoned detectors and a panel, not a handful of battery alarms.
- Larger homesA house with an annexe, loft rooms or a long landing needs a system when standalone alarms cannot be heard throughout.
What happens on the day
Lighting Electrical arrives, fits the fire alarm system around the premises, then commissions it and leaves the certificates with you.
- Arrival and walk throughWe meet you on site, check access to ceilings, risers and the intake, then confirm detector and sounder positions on the written price.
- Fitting the systemThe panel goes in first, then detectors, call points and sounders are cabled and fixed, with power isolated only where that work needs it.
- Commissioning and certificatesEach device is tested, the results are recorded, the system is powered up and the certificates stay with you.

“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

How much does a fire alarm system cost?
A fire alarm system from Lighting Electrical starts at £1,400. More detectors, longer cable runs, a larger panel or extra zones raise that figure. Book Now and the written price is set before anyone attends.
Do I need a fire alarm system or smoke alarms?
Standalone smoke alarms suit a single dwelling. A shop, office, workshop or a building with several lets needs a fire alarm system with a panel so the warning reaches every floor. Lighting Electrical prices that system from £1,400 once the layout is clear.
Will the power be off while you fit a fire alarm system?
Most of the building keeps power while Lighting Electrical fits a fire alarm system. Only the circuits used for the panel and device wiring are isolated. The system is commissioned and the certificates are left before we go.
What certificates do I get for a fire alarm system?
Lighting Electrical leaves the certificates for the fire alarm system after commissioning. They record the panel, the devices and the test results. Keep them with the building records for insurers and later inspections.
