Heading up our fire division is Paul Waddon, who has 32 years of experience in the fire alarm industry. He is a nominated designer for both BAFE and the National Security Inspectorate (NSI), a recognition reserved for those with true expertise. Our team of installation and maintenance engineers has almost 50 years of combined experience. This includes Level 3 qualified engineers with qualifications such as the FireQual Level 3 Award & EAL NVQ Diploma, proof of their ability to design, install, commission and maintain fire detection systems to BS 5839 standards.

Whatever your property, we have it covered

Generic fire detection systems might seem like an easy solution, but they won’t necessarily keep you and your property safe. What works for a family home is different from what a school, office, or Grade II listed building might need. Paul’s team has the experience and qualifications to advise on all of these, including:

• Home fire detection
• Small business fire detection
• Public sector and community buildings
• Corporate and large commercial properties
• Listed and heritage properties.

Fire detection in listed and heritage buildings

Older and listed buildings come with unique challenges for fire detection. There are often restrictions on how systems can be installed, and extra care is needed to protect these irreplaceable structures.

This is a skill that takes years to develop. Paul and his team have worked on many listed and heritage properties, so we understand the sensitivities involved, whether it is a listed family home, a historic public building, or a large heritage estate.

Accreditations you can rely on

Absolute Fire & Security are registered for both Part 1, commercial systems and Part 6 Residential systems and are proud to have NSI Gold accreditation – one of the highest standards in the industry. We’re also members of the BAFE Fire Safety Register, the Fire Industry Association and Constructionline. These accreditations show our commitment to doing things right, keeping up with the latest regulations and giving our customers confidence that their systems meet all required standards.

As one of our Directors, James Lewis, puts it: “Fire detection systems and their technology have developed so much in recent years. With our growing team, their knowledge, and the specialist training they regularly undertake, it made sense to create a distinct Fire Division. We’re delighted to offer our customers a dedicated team focused purely on fire detection and prevention.”
