Planned Fire Alarm Maintenance & Testing in Universities

Fire alarms systems need regular check-ups to stay in top working condition. By law, your university’s fire alarm system has to be professionally serviced every six months – which is where we come in.

As a BAFE-accredited contractor, we offer tailored maintenance packages to suit the size and layout of your university. Our expert engineers will handle everything – full servicing, emergency callouts and compliance certificates – making sure your fire alarms are always working well and meet legal requirements.

University Fire Suppression Systems

We install Jactone PAFSS (Pneumatically Actuated Fire Suppression Systems), which are innovative self-activating systems designed for rapid detection and extinguishing of fires in enclosed spaces.

If your university has labs, kitchens or research spaces with fume cupboards, you’ll need proper protection. These areas pose a real fire risk, but PAFSS make sure students and staff are kept safe. Our experienced team will design a bespoke system that fits your setup perfectly.

Emergency lighting installation in a workplace for safety compliance

Emergency Lights for Universities

In the event of an emergency, staff, students and visitors need to be able to find the nearest exit quickly. If your university has areas with poor natural light, not having emergency lighting could be a serious hazard in a power cut. Regulations say escape routes must stay lit for at least three hours after a power failure.

Our team can design a bespoke emergency lighting system that keeps your university safe and compliant, making sure all key exit routes and dimly lit areas are covered.

Disabled Refuge & Call Points in Universities

Universities should be accessible to everyone, and that includes during emergency evacuations. By law, multi-storey buildings must have designated refuge areas for anyone needing extra assistance, such as wheelchair users, pregnant women or students with mobility issues. These areas provide a safe space where people can communicate directly with evacuation teams for guidance.

We’ve been installing these systems for over 15 years, working with universities to improve their safety measures. We can do the same for you, making sure your buildings are fully compliant and everyone on campus is properly protected.

Types of Fire Extinguisher

Fire Extinguishers for Universities

They may seem basic, but fire extinguishers are an essential piece of fire safety equipment. Backed by years of experience installing fire extinguishers in universities, our team will thoroughly assess your campus, to make sure the right extinguishers are in the right places so they’re easy to find and use in an emergency.

Regular checks are important to keep extinguishers in working order, so we offer full servicing and maintenance plans too. We also supply fire blankets, safety accessories, and signage – everything you need for quick and effective fire response.

University Door Access Control Systems

Keeping track of who’s coming and going on campus is important for security. Our keyless door entry systems, using fobs, access cards or intercoms, give you a hassle-free way to manage access.

We’ll design a system that suits your university’s needs, whether it’s keeping student halls secure, restricting access to certain areas, or just making it easier to manage foot traffic. These systems also help with attendance tracking, visitor management and smooth deliveries.

CCTV & Intruder Alarm Installation

University CCTV & Intruder Alarm Installation

A good security system means you always know what’s happening on your campus. CCTV cameras and intruder alarms act as deterrents and provide an extra layer of protection, for enhanced peace of mind.

We can install high-definition cameras to monitor key indoor and outdoor areas, plus intruder alarms with motion sensors, door contacts and panic buttons for instant alerts in case of unauthorised access. For 24/7 monitoring, we can link your system to an external security centre, which is one less thing for you to worry about.
