Fire Detection and Alarm Systems
Design, installation and maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems, delivered in line with BS 5839 and using EN54-compliant equipment where specified.
BS 5839-aligned. EN54-compliant equipment.
Fire detection and alarm systems built on current technology.
DefendX focuses on the latest fire detection technology rather than legacy wired panels. Systems are designed and delivered in accordance with the applicable fire strategy and relevant BS 5839 recommendations, using wireless, EN54-compliant detectors, call points and control panels that cut installation disruption without cutting compliance.
Every system is designed to the building's own fire strategy, commissioned and tested before handover, then kept compliant through a scheduled maintenance programme.
DefendX designs, installs and maintains fire detection and alarm systems using the latest wireless technology. Systems are designed and delivered in accordance with the applicable fire strategy and relevant BS 5839 recommendations, using EN54-compliant equipment where specified, and backed by scheduled maintenance and rapid fault response.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What types of fire detection and alarm system does DefendX install?
DefendX designs and installs systems using EN54-compliant detectors, call points, sounders and control panels, including wireless detection technology, matched to the building's fire strategy.
How is a system design matched to a building?
System design is based on the building's fire strategy and current occupancy, rather than a generic panel and detector count applied regardless of layout.
What maintenance does a fire alarm system need?
Systems require scheduled maintenance and testing to remain compliant, with fault diagnosis and rapid response repairs available where an issue is identified between scheduled visits.
Can DefendX install a temporary system during works?
Temporary fire detection arrangements during construction or refurbishment works need to be specified against the site's changing layout and current fire strategy. Speak to DefendX about the specific project before assuming a standard temporary system will meet the requirement.
What should we do if we get frequent false alarms?
Frequent false alarms usually point to a design, detector-type or environmental issue that should be investigated by a competent engineer rather than worked around, since it can lead to alarms being ignored.
