Fire Alarm Systems

Introduction

With experience in the fire industry dating back to 1986, Watchman Alarms is firmly established in providing reliable fire detection solutions for both commercial and domestic environments. Our goal is simple: ensuring people can live and work safely through compliant, high‑quality fire alarm systems.

We supply and install a comprehensive range of EN54‑approvedconventional and addressable fire detection control panels, fully compliant with BS 5839‑1:2025 and all relevant European standards.

Design

Drawing on decades of industry expertise, we provide accurate, professional advice based on the requirements of BS 5839‑1 :2025 and EN standards. Our design engineer will arrange a site visit to assess the building layout, fire risks, and any third‑party stipulations (such as insurers, local authorities, or building control). This ensures your fire alarm system is designed correctly, using the latest detection technology and best‑practice installation methods.

Installation & Commissioning

All installation and commissioning work is carried out by fully qualified fire alarm engineers. We use premium‑grade equipment and follow the recommendations of current British and European Standards to ensure your system operates safely, reliably, and in full compliance with legislation.

Commissioning includes:

• Device testing and verification

• Sound level measurements

• Zone plan creation

• System documentation and certification

Remote Monitoring & Maintenance

Customer care is central to our service. We provide ongoing maintenance and remote monitoring options to ensure your fire alarm system remains fully operational at all times.

Regular inspections by a qualified engineer are essential to meet the standards set by the Scottish Government and BS 5839‑1:2025. Routine servicing helps identify faults early, maintain compliance, and ensure your system performs correctly in an emergency.
