Listed Building: Wireless Fire Protection for Nine Flats
Wireless fire alarm upgrade for nine occupied flats in a listed London building.
The challenge
The building is a listed period property in London containing nine residential flats. The housing association needed an upgraded fire alarm system that respected the building’s historic features while keeping disruption to residents to a minimum.
Our approach
Fire Systems designed and installed a wireless fire alarm system to reduce the need for extensive cabling and physical alterations. Compact detectors and carefully positioned components helped limit the visual impact of the installation.
The team coordinated access with property management and residents, scheduled work considerately and protected and cleaned work areas. Installation was phased so that the existing alarm system remained operational until the new system was ready.
The outcome
The completed installation upgraded fire detection while preserving the character of the property and limiting disruption across the occupied flats. The project record also describes Fire Systems providing ongoing maintenance of the installed system.
