Fire Alarm Systems in Castle Cary
Built to BS 5839

Every fire alarm system we install in Castle Cary meets the requirements of BS 5839-1 (commercial) or BS 5839-6 (domestic). We design the system around your building, not the other way around. Whether you need a Grade A addressable system for a Castle Cary commercial property or a Grade D interlinked system for a rental flat, we handle design, installation, commissioning and certification.

BS 5839 Categories Explained

Conventional vs Addressable Systems

For smaller Castle Cary properties, conventional fire alarm panels offer reliable zone-based detection at a lower cost. For larger commercial buildings and multi-tenanted premises in Castle Cary, addressable systems pinpoint the exact detector that triggered, making evacuation management faster and reducing false alarm callouts.

Brands We Install

We supply and install panels and detectors from Gent, Hochiki, Apollo, C-TEC, Nittan and Advanced Electronics. All components are third-party certified and come with manufacturer warranty. We are not tied to a single supplier, so we specify what suits your Castle Cary property best.

Emergency Lighting — BS 5266

Fire alarms and emergency lighting go hand in hand. We install BS 5266-compliant maintained and non-maintained emergency lighting systems alongside fire alarm installations. This includes illuminated exit signs, bulkhead emergency lights and central battery systems for larger Castle Cary commercial properties.

Common Questions

Are you BAFE-equivalent for Castle Cary school and surgery fire alarm work?

Our fire alarm installs comply with BS 5839-1 (commercial) and BS 5839-6 (domestic). For Castle Cary schools, surgeries and care settings we install Grade L1 (full coverage) addressable systems with annual servicing contracts. We’re NAPIT-registered, City & Guilds qualified, and our certificates are accepted by every Somerset council building-control inspector.

What's the difference between BS 5839 Grade A, L1, L2, L3, M, P1?

Commercial categories: P1 = property protection (full coverage); P2 = property protection (high-risk areas only); L1 = life safety (full coverage including all rooms); L2 = life safety (escape routes + high-risk areas); L3 = life safety (escape routes only); M = manual call points only. Domestic grades A through F per BS 5839-6 — Grade D commonly required in HMOs and rentals.

Do you service fire alarms after install?

Yes. BS 5839-1 requires 6-monthly servicing for commercial systems — we offer a service contract (covers 2 visits per year, signed test certificate, battery replacement). For BS 5839-6 domestic systems annual user-test only is required, but we recommend a yearly engineer check-over especially in landlord properties.
