Advice on fire protection for business and home owners in Leeds

Even a very basic smoke detector or fire protection system can prove highly beneficial when it comes to protecting businesses or homes from the risk of a fire. We are approved and accredited installers of fire and smoke alarms in Leeds and we work with residential and business customers to provide them with the protection they need.

A number of different types of smoke alarms are available, including optical smoke detectors, designed to detect tiny smoke particles. When installing smoke alarms it’s important to remember that although smoke detectors can detect smoke within a radius of just over seven metres, large rooms will need to have several detectors in order to ensure an efficient overlap.

Heat detectors are ideal for rooms where there tends to be a higher ambient temperature such as kitchens or utility rooms. Building regulations now dictate that heat detectors must be installed in new kitchens, and as with smoke detectors, large rooms or commercial kitchens are likely to require more than one detector. Rate of rise detectors will detector as soon as a room’s temperature begins to rise, triggering the alarm.
