Design and installation of whole hospital Fire Alarms to regional trusts and estates

Asset Intelligence deliver full replacement and upgrade of fire alarm systems across NHS estates and regional Trust properties, ensuring compliance with national healthcare fire‑safety standards and maintaining uninterrupted clinical operations. Works typically include estate‑wide surveys, phased replacement of devices and wiring, installation of modern detection and notification equipment, integration with existing building services, and full commissioning to current regulatory requirements (e.g., BS 5839). All activities are planned and delivered in coordination with local estates teams to minimise disruption to patient flow, clinical departments and essential services. The programme incorporates strict infection‑control procedures, safe systems of work, and flexible scheduling—including out‑of‑hours delivery—alongside interim protection measures to ensure continuous fire‑safety coverage throughout the upgrade. Suitable for acute, community, mental health and multi‑site Trust environments, the approach ensures a consistent, resilient and compliant fire‑safety infrastructure across the regional estate.
