Fire Alarm Systems in Shepton Mallet
Built to BS 5839

Every fire alarm system we install in Shepton Mallet meets BS 5839-1 (commercial) or BS 5839-6 (domestic). We design the system around your building's layout and use, whether it is a converted stone farmhouse on the edge of Shepton Mallet or a commercial unit on the trading estates.

BS 5839 Categories Explained

Conventional vs Addressable Systems

For smaller Shepton Mallet properties and domestic installations, conventional zone-based panels provide reliable detection at lower cost. For larger commercial buildings and industrial units around Shepton Mallet, addressable systems identify the exact detector that triggered, speeding up response times and reducing false alarm disruption.

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 with manufacturer warranty. We are not tied to one supplier and specify what suits your property best.

Emergency Lighting — BS 5266

We install BS 5266-compliant emergency lighting alongside fire alarm systems. This includes illuminated exit signs, bulkhead emergency lights and central battery systems for larger Shepton Mallet commercial properties and workshops.

Common Questions

Do you fit fire alarms at Royal Bath & West or Shepton industrial sites?

Yes. Royal Bath & West showground and Shepton industrial estate units typically need Grade L2 systems (covering all escape routes and high-risk areas). We use Hochiki addressable panels with manual call points at all exits, sounders sized to the building, and heat detectors in workshop areas where smoke detectors would false-alarm.

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.
