Commercial fire detection

At ATL, our engineers are fully trained and accredited in the design, installation, commissioning and servicing of both conventional and addressable fire alarm systems, in full compliance with BS 5839-1:2025 and BS 5839-6:2019.

Whether driven by a fire risk assessment, insurance requirement or regulatory need, we deliver bespoke fire detection systems tailored to your premises. From comprehensive L1 coverage to L5 customised configurations, or asset-specific P1 and P2 solutions, at ATL we design with purpose, to protect what matters most for you.

Integrated Fire Detection Technologies

We utilise a wide range of detection methods to suit diverse environments, including:

• Optical smoke detectors
• Heat detectors
• Combined multi-sensor detectors
• Auto-aligning beam detectors
• Linear heat detection cables
• Aspirating smoke detection systems
• Flame detectors

These technologies can be integrated into your wider infrastructure to enable:

• Automatic plant control
• Intruder alarm integration, allowing multi-sensor settings to adapt based on system arming/disarming requirements
• Emergency response triggers via third-party system input signals

Wireless survey and hybrid systems

As part of our commitment to flexible system design, we maintain multiple manufacturer-specific wireless survey kits, enabling us to carry out dedicated wireless fire alarm surveys tailored to your site conditions. Whether it’s for a fully wireless or hybrid application, we ensure signal integrity and optimal detector placement before carrying out the installation, as per the requirements of BS5839-1:2025.

Our wireless capability supports faster deployment with minimal disruption, making it ideal for heritage sites, occupied buildings or environments with limited wiring routes.
