NATIONWIDE COVERAGE WITH 24/7 CALLOUTS
Fire Alarm Systems Installed to Meet Commercial Compliance
At Bolt, our engineers regularly deliver fire alarm system installations in London across a wide range of commercial and industrial environments. This includes warehouses still operating to offices still occupied to construction projects with multiple trades.
Before installation begins, we agree how works will be phased around your building occupancy and day-to-day operations. This planning allows fire alarm installation and commissioning to progress efficiently without disrupting daily operations or delaying the wider programme.
RRFSO 2005 and BS 5839 Compliance
Approved Fire Alarm Systems Ready for Sign Off
Every fire alarm installation in London is designed to align with your site’s fire risk assessment and delivered in accordance with the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 3005 and BS 5839 codes or practice.
The systems and documentation (zone plans, logbooks, commissioning records and more) we provide are clear to operate and maintain once in use, helping your site’s Responsible Persons manage ongoing compliance after handover.

Types of Fire Alarm Systems We Install in London
Systems Available for Your Sites
Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
Commonly installed in larger or more complex London buildings where identifying the exact device in alarm supports faster investigation and evacuation.
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
Typically used in smaller premises where zoned detection provides clear indication without added complexity.
Wireless Fire Alarm Systems
Well suited to occupied buildings or sensitive environments where installing cabling would cause disruption or extend programme times.
Aspirating Smoke Detection
Specified for higher-risk or critical areas where very early detection is required to protect occupants, operations or valuable assets.
Linear Heat Detection
Frequently installed in industrial or logistics environments where layout, ceiling height or conditions limit the effectiveness of point detectors.
Optical Beam Detection
Used in large open spaces with high ceilings where traditional detection methods are not practical.
Flame Detectors
Applied in specialist industrial settings where detecting open flame provides a more appropriate response than smoke detection.
Video Smoke Detection
Used in wide or complex areas where visual analysis supports early identification of developing fire conditions.
Project Planning That Avoids Delays
Survey and Design to Support Installation and Commissioning
Before installation, we conduct a thorough site survey and system design service to ensure things progress without issue. This involves:
- Agreeing fire alarm control panel and fire alarm box locations
- Selecting appropriate detector types and zoning coverage
- Preparing zone plans, logbooks and system drawings in advance
- Designing cause and effect around how the building operates day to day
- Coordinating containment routes and power supplies with other trades
Addressing these points early allows installation and commissioning to be completed efficiently, supports smooth auditing in the future and ensures Responsible Persons receive clear, compliant documentation at handover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Need Answers Before You Get Started?
What areas of London do you cover?

- Central London
- City of London
- Canary Wharf
- Westminster
- Camden
- Islington
- Southwark
- Croydon and surrounding boroughs

Do you offer commercial and domestic fire alarm installations?
Our team here at Bolt specialise in industrial and commercial fire alarm installation. This includes sites used for offices, warehouses, factories, retail premises, multi-occupancy buildings and more.
We do not focus on domestic installations.
Are you approved fire alarm installers?
Yes, we are fully certified and approved fire alarm installation contractors with accreditations such as BAFE Registered, FIA Members, SSAIB certified and UKAS accredited, with CHAS approval and Constructionline GOLD membership.
These accreditations confirm that our fire alarm systems are designed, installation, commissioned and maintained in line with current legislation and British Standards. For clients, this means installations that always stand up to the inspection and satisfy insurers with support from clear and compliant documentation at handover.
Can you work around live or occupied buildings?
Yes, most of our installation work takes place in live commercial environments. We take the time to understand how your building operates day-to-day so works can be planned around production schedules, office occupancy etc. Where possible, installations are phased so production lines do not need to shut down and office staff can remain in place.
If parts of the fire alarm system need to be temporarily offline, we advice on appropriate interim measures such as fire officers carrying out regular patrols, to ensure you’re always covered and compliant.
All activity is coordinated closely with site managers and Responsible Persons and other trades to keep disruption to a minimum and the project moving safely.
Do you offer fire alarm maintenance packages?
In addition to fire installation and commissioning, we also offer a fire alarm maintenance and servicing package which we recommend every five to seven months (to guarantee compliance with current UK guidance).
Depending on your sire and risk profile however, we can even carry out maintenance checks every three months.
