Fire, security & ventilation
for Laboratories & Research Facilities.
Volatile chemicals, pressurised gases and irreplaceable research data share the same footprint. In a science facility, compartmentation is not just a fire barrier: it is a chemical containment zone. DSEAR-compliant detection, hybrid systems that monitor smoke and hazardous gas leaks together, inert suppression for server rooms and cryogenic stores where water is catastrophic, and fire dampers proven to operate without upsetting pressure regimes in sterile zones. Access control and CCTV enforce CL3/CL4 containment boundaries around restricted areas.
Service lines for laboratories & research facilities.
Fire Systems
Fire alarms and evacuation, AOV smoke extract, disabled refuge and PAVA. Designed, installed and maintained to current British standards, with monitored response when the alarm actually sounds.
Gas Suppression Systems
Inert and chemical gas suppression: design, install, repair and maintenance for data centres, comms rooms and irreplaceable assets.
Ventilation & Air Quality
AHU and ductwork install, service and repair, fire-damper testing, ventilation hygiene, AOV smoke extract, air conditioning and commissioning.
Passive Fire Systems
Fire doors, fire stopping, compartmentation, barriers and risk assessments: the protection that works without anyone pressing a button.
Security & Access Control
Intruder alarms, CCTV, access control, door entry and 24/7 monitoring: the systems that stay awake after the last person leaves.
Where the compliance
pressure is.
DSEAR and COSHH duties for volatile substances · CL3/CL4 containment protocols · Irreplaceable research data and sample protection · Pressure-regime-sensitive fire engineering · Six-monthly gas suppression servicing.
The regulations
that shape the work.
- Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
- DSEAR (dangerous substances and explosive atmospheres)
- COSHH / BS EN 14175 (fume cupboard extract)
- BS 5839-1 (detection)
- BS EN 15004 (gaseous suppression)
- HSE containment level (CL3/CL4) requirements
Every install is delivered to the relevant British / European standard with an audit-ready evidence pack at handover.
