Fire Alarms

PSES are BAFE SP203-1 accredited, specialising in the design, installation & maintenance of fire safety systems.

Whether your commercial or industrial property is big or small, PSES will design a bespoke system to suit your building’s requirements.

For large building PSES utilise fire protection solutions from Advanced, which offer proven performance, quality and ease of use – for your complete peace of mind.

For smaller buildings we utilise fire protection solutions from C-TEC, offering high quality systems that are perfect for small to medium sized commercial or industrial properties.

Conventional Fire Systems

Conventional fire alarm systems consist of manual call points, fire detectors, sounders, beacons, and other devices grouped into zones. Each zone is a single wiring circuit which represents a physical area within a building.

Conventional systems are suited to smaller systems and tend to be more cost effective, however fires and faults are only shown in zones and not exact areas.

Addressable Fire Systems

Addressable fire systems consist of call points, fire detectors, sounders, beacons and other devices but unlike a conventional fire system they aren’t grouped into zones. With addressable fire alarms, each device within the system has its own “address” or location. Each device detects changes in its immediate atmosphere to determine the exact location of a fire within the building.

Addressable fire systems are perfect for any sized building, but do tend to be installed in larger buildings due to being able to have larger system capability and capabilities. Commissioning these systems can take longer due to the complexity of them.

Aspirating Fire Systems

Air Sampling Detection (ASD) systems, commonly referred to as Aspirating Smoke Detection, have the capability to identify fires in their very early stages, often preceding the observable visual cues of a fire.

Tailored specifically for safeguarding areas of elevated risk and substantial value, such as Data Centres/Server Rooms and Distribution Centres, where the repercussions of smoke or fire downtime can be exorbitant, aspirating systems seamlessly integrate with conventional fire detection systems. Moreover, their aesthetics can be customised to harmonise with the surrounding environments where they are deployed.

Wireless Fire Systems

Wireless fire alarm systems operate without the need for wired connections between devices and the control panel. Instead, these devices communicate wirelessly with the control panel, typically utilising radio frequencies. This setup provides greater flexibility during installation, eliminating the necessity of running cables throughout the building.

Within wireless fire alarm systems, devices like smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual call points establish communication with the control panel through wireless transceivers. These transceivers, which may be battery-powered or wired, transmit signals to the control panel upon alarm activation. Subsequently, the control panel processes these signals, determining the appropriate response, such as activating the alarm or engaging third-party connections like sprinkler systems. Additionally, wireless systems can be integrated with other building safety mechanisms, including security systems and HVAC systems.

While wireless fire alarm systems are generally lauded for their flexibility and cost-effectiveness compared to wired alternatives, they often require supplementary components like wireless transceivers to ensure adequate signal strength and coverage throughout the building.

Fire Suppression Systems

Fire suppression systems prevent a fire from spreading and can extinguish a fire before it spreads. The main aim of a PSES fire suppression installation is to reduce the risk of injury to your staff and damage to property.

PSES offer a range of systems based on C02, water and synthetic gas. We provide a site survey to determine the most effective solution depending on the environment and potential fire hazards.

Kitchen Suppression Systems

A kitchen fire suppression system plays a crucial role in ensuring safety within your kitchen environment. Automatically activated upon fire detection, it effectively manages and extinguishes fires in their initial stages. Typically installed above specific appliances such as cookers and deep fat fryers, these systems are designed to target potential fire sources.

Activation of the system can occur through two methods: a heat link or a manual pull switch. Heat links are affixed to wires that break under extreme temperatures, prompting the suppression system to engage. Once a fire is confirmed, the nozzles positioned above the affected appliance release a wet chemical extinguishing agent.

Specifically formulated for Class F fires, typically caused by cooking oil, this suppressant—often a potassium solution—forms a protective layer over the burning material, depriving it of oxygen. Additionally, the gas line supplying the appliance is disconnected, depriving the fire of fuel.

Emergency Voice Call Systems (Disabled Refuge)

Disabled refuge systems are required in the UK in all non domestic premises over 1 storey or where an emergency exit is by stairs.

PSES can provide Emergency Voice Communication Systems to assist the orderly evacuation of disabled or mobility impaired people and enhance firefighters communication during emergencies.

This includes Disabled Refuge areas as a relatively safe place where people who cannot easily use fire escapes and evacuation lifts may call for assistance and wait while the main building is evacuated.

Fire Extinguishers

PSES offer a complete range of fire extinguishers depending on the type of fire and application within your site.

After carrying out a site survey we can offer the following fire extinguishers:

  • Foam Fire Extinguishers
  • Water Fire Extinguishers
  • CO2 Fire Extinguishers
  • Automatic Fire Extinguishers
  • Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers
  • Powder Fire Extinguishers

PSES also offer planned maintenance and service of extinguishers to ensure your equipment is always safe and ready to use in case of an emergency.
