Kentec and Advanced panels with Apollo detection are our standard, and we take over panels fitted by other companies. Surveys are free, maintained systems carry a three hour response commitment, and the engineer you speak to is the one doing the work.

Wired & wireless intruder alarms, monitored and app-connected, fitted to BS EN 50131.
Keypad, fob and door-entry systems that control exactly who goes where.
Fire detection and alarm systems designed, installed and serviced to BS 5839.
Loughton's fire alarm work sits mostly on the Debden side and along the shopping streets rather than in the big detached houses. The Debden estate was built by the London County Council between 1947 and 1952, and The Broadway at its centre is a curved 1950s parade with two floors of flats above the shops, a mix of council tenants and leaseholders who bought under Right to Buy. The district council's refurbishment programme there includes fire and electrical compliance works, a reminder of how much attention this building type needs. The High Road has the same shops-with-flats arrangement on a smaller scale. Langston Road brings offices, trade counters and warehouse units with long open floors. The three secondary schools, Davenant Foundation, Roding Valley High and Debden Park High, each have their own mix of classrooms, halls, kitchens and sports buildings to protect. Fire safety in Loughton is enforced by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, and we design and document every system so it stands up to their inspection.
Flats over shops are where we spend most of our fire design time in Loughton. The commercial unit below needs detection that picks up a fire early, the common stair needs to stay usable, and the flats themselves may need their own BS 5839-6 alarms on top. Where ownership is mixed, the freeholder, leaseholders and shop tenants all need to know who holds which duty under the Fire Safety Order and who books the servicing. For schools, the system has to cope with kitchens, science rooms and sports halls without constant false alarms, which comes down to the right detector type in each room. Offices and warehouses on Langston Road are usually best served by an addressable panel that names the exact device in alarm, which saves minutes when staff are trying to find the problem and makes servicing quicker too.
