Fire alarm installation in Bath.

Fire alarms in Bath

Bath is a World Heritage city, and that shapes almost everything about working in it. Georgian terraces, listed buildings and a conservation area mean cabling has to be thought through, and many premises are converted townhouses with a mix of uses. The city also has a very large hospitality and student sector.

Premises we work with in Bath

• Hotels, guest houses and short lets with sleeping risk and many visitors.
• Restaurants, bars and cafes with commercial kitchens in historic buildings.
• Offices and professional practices in converted Georgian townhouses.
• HMOs and student lets where landlords have extra duties.
• Retail in the centre and on the edges of the city.

Local considerations

Converted townhouses often have several floors, many small rooms and fire-resisting construction that must be preserved. Wireless and addressable systems are commonly used. Listed building consent may apply to works that affect historic fabric.

Fire and rescue service

Bath falls under Avon Fire & Rescue Service. Enforcing authorities can ask to see your fire risk assessment, fire alarm records and logbook, so having them in order is worth the effort. See your responsibilities.

How we work in Bath

We visit Bath regularly from Wells, and travel there for surveys, installations and servicing. We start with a survey, explain the options and price the system that suits the building. Then we install, commission and hand over with the records. Details: fire alarm installation, servicing, fire safety checks and extinguishers.
