Fire alarm installation and maintenance in Bristol, look no further than Cannon.

We offer design, installation and maintenance of fire detection systems to the majority of building types. We cover residential property, commercial and public sector spaces, so every system we provide is custom-built to meet the needs of the fire safety environment.

Fire detection and alarm systems are designed to detect fire as early as possible, allowing the residents to evacuate safely. A fire alarm system can monitor premises remotely 24/7.

We have the technical expertise and hands-on experience to recommend the optimal type of system to suit your requirements, taking into account factors such as building layout, usage and level of fire risk.

We partner with our clients throughout the entire design process, from initial phases to installation and long-term maintenance. This end-to-end strategy ensures a consistent quality, adherence to existing fire safety laws and a sense of safety for property owners, managers and residents.

Commercial and Residential Fire Alarms

We are proud to be known as the HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) experts, having over 1,000 properties under our management within the Bristol region. HMOs require a specific approach to fire safety, not just to meet regulatory standards but to ensure the well-being of residents in shared housing environments.

We understand how complex these properties can be, including the need for interconnected alarms, visible escape routes, and effective detection systems. We have a long history of working with landlords, housing associations and property managers to provide fire protection that is compliant and dependable.

Wireless Alarm Systems

n cases where the installation of traditional wired systems is not feasible or is impractical, we provide wireless fire alarm systems. They are most suitable for use on listed buildings, guesthouses, hotels and large commercial premises where the structure or aesthetic of the building is a priority.

Wireless systems are also an excellent option for temporary installations, such as construction sites or event centres. Our wire-free systems are in line with all applicable British Standards and are completely scalable, allowing them to be installed in both small and large properties. They also have the advantage of being more time-efficient to install and having less interference with occupants or businesses undergoing operations.

Addressable Fire Alarm Systems

Rather than being limited to a general zone, information-addressable alarm systems can identify individual alarms and therefore pinpoint the location of the fire or any errors much more accurately. When in alarm condition, the panel will not only indicate the zone number, but also a text description to identify the location of the activated alarm, e.g. room 12, so that the emergency services can go directly to the source.

24-hour Alarm monitoring

For clients who require an additional level of security and responsiveness, we also offer 24-hour surveillance. This service connects your fire detection system to our permanently staffed central monitoring station, ensuring that any activation is promptly attended to, 24/7.

When an alarm sounds, our team will immediately notify the emergency services and the designated keyholders, thereby reducing response time and potential damage. The service can be of special value to unoccupied premises, businesses with non-standard hours, and high-risk situations where fast response is essential.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Quality and customer service are the driving forces of our business. We partner with the best equipment manufacturers in the market to make sure that our systems are strong, dependable and future-proof.

Our work is fully certified and meets the most up-to-date British Standards (including the BS 5839), and our engineers are trained to the highest level in system design, installation and maintenance. Our planned maintenance programmes also provide regular servicing, which helps ensure your system is kept in optimal working conditions so that any issues are detected and corrected before they escalate to critical levels.

No matter how large or small the area to be covered by a fire detection solution, whether it is a single HMO, a large-scale commercial complex, or a heritage property with specific preservation needs, we have the experience and capacity to deliver a solution that is tailored to your needs. Contact us today to discover how we can support your property and its occupants.

Smoke and Heat Detectors

Smoke and heat detectors are crucial fire safety tools that help save lives and property by detecting fires early. A smoke detector detects smoke particles in the air. There are two primary types: ionisation (which is more sensitive to fast-flaming fires) and photoelectric (which is more sensitive to smouldering fires).
Heat detectors are sensitive to variations in temperature and are suitable for use in areas prone to dust or steam, such as the kitchen or garage. They are available in fixed-temperature and rate-of-rise models.

Modern systems often connect detectors together to give general alerts. Batteries need to be tested, cleaned and replaced to promote a high degree of dependability and early fire indication.
