What each accreditation covers, and how to verify it

What we are usually called out to in Hounslow

Hounslow runs from Chiswick, with its high road of restaurants and the offices of Chiswick Park, through Brentford’s new riverside blocks and the office buildings along the Great West Road, to Hounslow town centre, Feltham and the warehouses and freight businesses on the edge of Heathrow.

About an hour from Southgate on the North Circular and the M4, less for Chiswick and Brentford at the eastern end.

Buildings we work on in Hounslow

Four building types that come up again and again across TW3, TW4, TW5, TW8, TW13, W4, and what each one actually needs from a fire alarm system.

  1. Multi-let offices

    One landlord system, with each tenant’s changes added, programmed and recorded properly.

  2. Warehouses near Heathrow

    Detection chosen for high roofs and dust, with zones that follow the racking.

  3. High-street shops

    Conventional systems sized to the unit, often linked to the flats above.

  4. New riverside blocks in Brentford

    Common-part systems serviced and kept matching the building once the commercial units are fitted out.

Everything Hounslow buildings need, one accredited team

The same services across TW3, TW4, TW5, TW8, TW13, W4: the assessment first, then the work it specifies and the servicing that keeps it compliant.

Buildings we work in most

Offices

Multi-let buildings, where the landlord holds the common parts and you hold your demise. We put the boundary in writing.

What this building needs

Shops & retail

Trading hours, a public who do not know the building, and staff who changed twice this year.

What this building needs

Warehouses & industrial

Roof height and stack height decide the detection. Beam, aspirating and in-rack rather than more point detectors.

What this building needs

What happens when you get in touch

Four steps, the price agreed in writing before anyone starts, and one accredited team from the first Hounslow survey to the certificate.

    Free survey and written quote

    An engineer comes out to Hounslow, explains plainly what the law asks of you, and puts the price in writing. No obligation either way.

  3. 03

    Installed and certified

    Work is carried out to BS 5839-1 and commissioned properly, then you get the certificate your insurer and fire officer ask to see.

  4. 04

    Serviced, year after year

    Six-monthly visits from the same team, with a written report every time, so your compliance never quietly lapses.

What moves a fire safety price, and where the money actually goes

Shared buildings, split responsibility

Many buildings here are shared: business parks and multi-let offices on one landlord’s system, retail parades with flats above, warehouses split into several units. When something goes wrong, nobody is sure whose detector it is or who should fix it. A clear zone plan, a log book that names who is responsible for which part, and one company servicing the whole system prevent most of the arguments.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person for the building (usually the employer, owner, landlord or managing agent) has to make sure a fire risk assessment is carried out and the fire precautions are kept working. Getting the design wrong is not just a technical problem, it is that duty left unmet.

Fire safety in Hounslow: your questions

Do you cover Chiswick and Brentford?

Yes, the whole borough: Chiswick, Brentford, Isleworth, Hounslow, Feltham, Cranford and Heston. Chiswick and Brentford are the quickest for us to reach, Feltham the furthest.

Can you take over an existing system in Hounslow?

Yes. It starts with a free survey, then a takeover report, £250 + VAT for up to 15 devices. We test what is installed, tell you in writing whether it matches the building and the standard, and quote to take over the servicing. There is no gap in your cover while you switch. In Hounslow that report usually starts with how the system is split between the landlord and the tenants in a shared building.

How often does a commercial fire alarm have to be serviced?

BS 5839-1 recommends inspection and servicing by a competent person at least every six months. That does not change with the postcode. What changes is what the engineer should be looking at, which is why we survey the building rather than working from a checklist.
