Case Study
The Background
A landlord in Stourbridge contacted us after a recent fire risk assessment identified that
their multi-office building required a compliant fire alarm system to meet current fire
regulations.
At the time, the building had no fire alarm system installed, creating a significant
compliance and safety concern for both the landlord and the tenants occupying the
offices.
Due to the age of the building and the fact that all offices were fully occupied and
operational, a traditional wired installation would have
Project Requirements
- Bring the building into compliance with fire regulations
- Minimise disruption to tenants and daily operations
- Avoid unnecessary mess and redecoration work
- Be installed quickly and efficiently
- Provide a reliable long-term fire safety solution
Choosing the Most Efficient Solution
Following a full site assessment, it was clear that a wireless fire alarm system would be the most practical and cost-effective option for the building.
Wireless systems are ideal for occupied and older buildings because they remove the need for extensive cabling works, reducing disruption while still providing excellent reliability and performance.
We recommended a high-quality wireless system known for its:
- Excellent signal strength
- Reliable communication between devices
- Fast installation times
- Minimal impact on occupied buildings
The client was happy with the proposal, and the installation was scheduled promptly.
Fast Installation with Minimal Disruption
Our engineers completed the full installation, commissioning, and testing of the fire alarm system within a single day.
Because the system was wireless, there was:
- No disruptive cable installation
- No damage to walls or ceilings
- No mess or decoration repairs required
- No downtime for the offices or tenants
This allowed the building to remain fully operational throughout the works while still achieving full fire alarm compliance quickly and efficiently.
The Result
The landlord now has a fully compliant and reliable fire alarm system protecting the building and its occupants.
They now benefit from:
- A fully compliant fire alarm system
- Rapid installation completed within one day
- Minimal disruption to tenants and office operations
- No costly redecoration or repair works
- Reliable wireless technology with strong signal performance
- Peace of mind that the building now meets fire safety requirements
