Which areas do you cover?

We welcome enquiries across Liverpool and Merseyside, including Crosby, Bootle, Formby, Southport, Wirral, Huyton and Ormskirk. Include your postcode so availability for your location can be confirmed.

What happens during an initial survey?

The survey establishes the building layout, how the property is used, the existing equipment and the work you need. Relevant assessment documents can help define the proposed specification and quotation.

Can installation be planned around tenants or opening hours?

Include any access restrictions, tenant arrangements or preferred working hours in your enquiry. The work programme and any disruption should be agreed before installation begins.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance after installation?

You can enquire about planned servicing and maintenance alongside a new installation. The proposed schedule and scope will depend on the system and the needs of the building.

What information will I receive after the work?

The quotation should identify the handover information included in the job. Depending on the work, this may include commissioning records, operating instructions, test records and details of any outstanding recommendations.

Can you assess equipment installed by another company?

Send the system make and model, the last service date and any available records. An inspection can establish its condition and whether the equipment can be supported before further work is agreed.

Can you help with emergency lighting as well?

Yes. Enquire about installation, replacement fittings, testing or maintenance for commercial premises and shared buildings. Include the building use, any existing equipment and whether you also need fire alarm work.

Do I need a domestic or commercial system?

The right approach depends on the building, its use and the relevant assessment. Select the closest property type in your enquiry; rented, shared and mixed-use buildings may need more detailed advice.

Can an existing alarm system be upgraded?

An inspection can establish the condition of the equipment, its compatibility and whether an upgrade or replacement is appropriate. If available, include the panel make and model with your enquiry.

How much does installation cost?

Costs depend on the size and layout of the property, the system specification and access for installation. A tailored quotation should clearly explain the equipment, labour and any ongoing service costs.

What should I include in a servicing enquiry?

Include the property address, building use, panel make and model, approximate number of devices and the last service date if known. Mention any fault messages or recurring unwanted alarms.

Do you install fire alarms in HMOs and shared houses?

Yes. HMO specialist installations cover new conversions and existing shared homes. Tell us the layout, occupancy and existing equipment, and provide any assessment or licensing documents so the proposed work can be scoped for the property.

Can I enquire about several rental properties?

Yes—select “Landlord / managed property” and describe the number and type of properties, their locations and the work you would like quoted.
