Conventional Fire Alarm Systems

Conventional Fire Alarm Systems

Scarlett Fire & Security provides reliable, budget-friendly conventional fire alarm systems, ideal for smaller properties such as HMOs, restaurants, and retail.


These systems are cost-effective but require longer installation times due to the necessary wiring, which can increase labour costs and potentially disrupt daily business activities. However, for smaller properties, a conventional system can offer a practical solution.


In larger properties, such as blocks of flats, hotels, or commercial spaces, the building can be divided into separate zones. If a fire is detected in a zone, the alarm will activate across the whole area. However, the system will only indicate the zone where the fire is located, not the exact detector’s position, which may cause delays in locating the fire and taking swift action—a critical factor in fire safety.

Are very quick and easy to install because, as the name implies, there is no need for any wiring. However, these are more expensive than other systems and there are also ongoing costs involved as batteries needing to be regularly checked and replaced as required. Wireless systems are great for businesses such as high-class restaurants or historic buildings where the aesthetics of the building are important. 

Are less expensive than some other systems but can be more expensive to install because they require a lot of wiring. That also means they take longer to install. Unlike more sophisticated systems they cannot tell you the exact location of the fire, but they can be wired so that they divide the building into zones.

For many commercial buildings, an Addressable Fire Alarm System may well be the answer. When a detector or call point is activated by a fire, the Contol Panel can identify exactly which device has been activated, and so it means that it saves time locating and dealing with the fire.
