Fire Safety is our business

After three years since the introduction of the fire safety law, the London Fire Brigade is warning that many businesses are still ignorant to this new piece of fire safety legislation.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order came into affect in October 2006, replacing the old Fire Certificate and 70 separate pieces of legislation.

The order applies to virtually all buildings with the main exception of private homes.

The law takes the responsibility of fire safety in these types of buildings, away from the fire brigade and places it to the owners and management of the premises.

Ensuring that the fire alarm is functioning correctly and a fire alarm maintenance is in place is part of what is now required.

The listed building sector found it difficult to comply with the findings of their fire risk assessment. Hence,we have also notice an immergence of wireless fire alarms within this sector. Fire Systems ltd a London fire alarm company is a leading specialist in the fire alarm installation and installing wireless fire alarm systems.

UCKG following the requirements of the RRO carried out a fire risk assessment. What transpire is they required a fire alarm system in the main building in Finsbury Park. 

UCKG approached fire alarm installer Fire Systems, who recommended a wireless fire alarm system, as the building is listed and very artistic.

The wireless fire alarm has now been installed and the client is very happy with the result.
