Fire, security & ventilation
for Commercial & Retail Buildings.
Office blocks, retail parks, mixed-use developments and corporate HQs. The bread and butter of commercial fire and security: addressable fire alarm systems, access control, CCTV, AOV smoke extract, passive fire compartmentation, gas suppression on comms rooms. We deliver into Tier-1 main-contractor programmes (Mace, Wates), through long-term FM frameworks (CBRE, Equans, Integral UK) and direct to occupiers (Aviva Investors).
