One contract for fire and security
Every fire and security system in the building, alarm, emergency lighting, extinguishers, CCTV, door entry, access control, maintained under one agreement, with one schedule of visits and one certificate pack.
Why combine
Six systems, six suppliers is how paperwork gets lost
Most buildings accumulate suppliers: an alarm company, a lighting contractor, an extinguisher firm, a CCTV installer who has since vanished, a locksmith who fitted the maglocks. Six schedules, six invoices, and an interface between fire and access control that nobody owns.
The combined contract puts all of it under one agreement. Visits are grouped so the fire alarm service and the security checks happen together, the BS 7273-4 door release is tested every time, and everything lands in one certificate pack your insurer, freeholder or fire officer can have on request.
It is also simply cheaper: one engineer already on site does more in a visit than three suppliers doing one system each.
From enquiry to certificate
No sales visit and no three-week wait to find out what it costs. Tell us your deadline and the dates are planned back from it.
Form or phone. We ask for the postcode, the premises type and any deadline you are working to.
An engineer walks the building, counts the devices, checks the panel and the logbook, and notes what is missing.
A written figure for the contract, plus a separate price for anything that needs putting right first.
Certificate, logbook entries and priced defects, emailed to you within 48 hours.
Common questions
We already have a fire contract with you. How do we add security?
At renewal or mid-term, the security systems are surveyed, priced and folded into the same agreement.
Your renewal date does not change and the certificate pack simply grows to cover the new systems.
Can you take over systems other companies installed?
Yes. Fire panels, cameras, entry systems and access control are baselined on a first survey, in writing.
You see exactly what you inherited, what is defective, and what we are now responsible for, before you sign anything.
Is intruder alarm monitoring included?
No. Police-response monitored intruder alarms need NSI or SSAIB certification, which we do not hold, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Detector-activated CCTV monitoring to BS 8418 is available where remote response is needed, and we can work alongside your existing intruder alarm provider.
Twelve mixed residential blocks onto one Managed contract
Twelve residential blocks across Manchester, Salford and Trafford, three to six storeys, communal L5 and L2 systems in the common parts, managed by one agency for multiple freeholders.
Start with the survey: about an hour on site, a written summary of where every system stands, and a fixed price for one contract that covers the lot.

What does a combined fire and security contract include?
Fire alarm servicing, emergency lighting testing, extinguisher servicing and the security systems you hold, on one schedule with one renewal date. Reactive callout is included at contract rates, and every visit produces a certificate pack emailed to you within 48 hours.
Is one contract cheaper than separate fire and security contracts?
Usually, because visits combine. The bigger saving is administrative: one renewal, one point of contact, one certificate pack for your insurer, and no argument about whose responsibility the fire interface to the door release is.
Can we add buildings to the contract during the year?
Yes. Premises are added on the same terms at a pro-rata price for the remainder of the term, so a portfolio can grow without renegotiating everything. The new site joins your schedule with its own certificates in the same pack.
What happens at the end of the contract term?
We tell you what is due, what changed and what it costs before renewal rather than auto-rolling you onto a new term quietly. If you leave, your certificates and service history are yours: we export the full pack rather than holding it hostage.
