The engineers, the qualifications, the paperwork behind them
Procurement runs on evidence. Here is exactly what our engineers hold, what the company carries, and what we will send you on request.
Qualified in fire, trained as electricians
Every Praetor engineer who signs a certificate holds the Level 3 Award in the Requirements of Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems for Buildings (BS 5839-1:2025), including the emergency lighting programme, carries an ECS card, and is DBS checked for work in care settings and schools.
Underneath the fire qualifications sits an electrical trade. Our engineers come up through SB Electrical Group's electrical companies, which means fault-finding at circuit level, proper containment and terminations, and no waiting for "the electrician" to attend separately, because the fire engineer is one.
Manufacturer training is maintained on the panel ranges we service most: Advanced, Kentec, C-TEC, Morley-IAS and Hochiki, with closed-protocol arrangements available where a building is locked to a specific brand.
What the company carries
Ask for the certificate numbers, the insurance schedule and RAMS for your site. That is the test that separates real accreditation from a logo strip.

- Finished and covered, main switch and 400V warning in place.
- Closed up, with the circuit schedule where the next person will look for it.
