Designed to control and neutralise fires

Fire suppression systems

Prevention, as they say, is better than cure and fire suppression systems are very much in this vein, preventing the spread of fire rather than leaving you to deal with the consequences of a large fire.

Fire suppression systems can refer to any number of automatic systems designed to control and neutralise fires without the need for human intervention. Rather than ‘putting the fire out’, as you would get with a sprinkler system (which can cause extensive damage in itself), most suppression systems are designed to starve the fire of oxygen; without oxygen, the fire cannot take hold.

Designing and installing a fire suppression system is a skilled job that must be undertaken by an approved and qualified company. It might also be the case that if a fire suppression system is installed without the certified contractor, it might invalidate your insurance.

Where can fire suppression systems be used?

Power generation wind turbines, mobile electrical generators
Kitchen environments restaurants, hotels, canteens
Industrial equipment forklifts, engine protection for machinery, industrial processing equipment
Electrical enclosures electrical distribution cabinets, process control cabinets, communication racks
Material storage fume cupboards, chemical stores, flammable material stores
CNC machines, robotic welding machines, injection moulding machines, machining centres
Transport trains, boats, buses – engine compartments

Early notifications to minimise water damage

Fire sprinkler monitoring

Combining both mechanical and electrical expertise sprinkler systems provide an additional degree of protection for both life and property above smoke and/or other fire detection systems.

A correctly designed and installed sprinkler system can detect and control a fire at an early stage of development and activate an alarm. Correct operation of the system will rapidly reduce the production rate of heat and smoke allowing more time for personnel evacuation.

STANLEY Security provides:

Fire code compliant monitoring services
Fire sprinkler water flow and valve monitoring
Fire monitoring with dispatch
Early notification to minimise water damage
Standalone or integrated panels
Test and inspection services for the alarm devices connected to your fire suppression system
Maintenance and repair services for the alarm devices connected to your fire sprinkler system
STANLEY Security has the expertise to design, install and maintain a cost-effective fire sprinkler monitoring solution that meets your code requirements and needs

Advanced emergency lighting systems

Emergency evacuation & lighting

Emergency lighting is a crucial component of the safety system of any building. STANLEY Security specialises in emergency lighting design and implementation, working with only the most advanced emergency lighting systems, with discreet and stylish flush fittings and sleek and touchscreen controls.

What are some of the different types of emergency lighting available?

There are of course many different kinds of emergency lighting for the many different kinds of situation. Let's have a look at some of the most popular:

Temporary lighting (see also standby lighting) - there are many different types of location that require that, even in a state of emergency when often, typically, there is no power, normal activity may be continued. Locations such as hospitals, fire stations or prisons.
Exit signage - Imagine an office or corridor or some other room that you regularly use filling with smoke or plunged into darkness for some reason and you must leave the building to survive. It's not a pleasant thing to consider - although considering it and planning for it may mean that the worst will never be allowed to happen. What you need to ensure is that in the event of something like this taking place, you have working emergency exit signs and/or illuminated pathways that will help guide you and your workmates or your family to safety.
Thermoplastic emergency lighting - Thermoplastic exit signs are typically situated above a building's nearest exits. Easily recognisable because of their red or green lettering, there are various kinds of thermoplastic signs to choose from. They include: Thermoplastic, Photoluminescent, Self-Luminous

Safety precautions

Fire risk assessment

When it comes to safeguarding your business, fire risk assessment is crucial.

Legal requirements

Fire doors

Passive fire protection measures and Fire doors play an essential role in a building, by keeping a fire in the compartment in which it starts for defined/specified time periods Article 17 of the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order RRFSO makes it a legal requirement to ensure that fire resisting doors and escape doors are correctly installed and maintained in order for them to be fit for purpose.

Are your fire doors fit for purpose?

Whether you are looking to buy, install or maintain fire doors for your business, STANLEY Security has got your covered.

Did you know that, according to the BS 9999 fire safety code of practice, you should inspect and maintain your fire doors every six months.

A doorway is considered a weak point in containing a fire as it represents a break in the barrier. Third party certification is the minimum standard required for fire doors provided by door manufacturers, which gives reliance that goods supplied are fit for purpose. STANLEY Security will only use Fire door suppliers and manufacturers who are members of the British Woodworking Federation, BM Trada or if not in the schemes have their doors inspected at approved centres.

Door certification schemes:

BWF-CERTIFICATE (British Woodwork Federation scheme)
BM TRADA Q MARK
IFC CERTIFICATION (International scheme but UKAS approved)

Do you need new fire doors? Or would you like an assessment of current fire doors?

If you are interested in buying/installing new fire doors or you would like an inspection and assessment of your current fire doors by a FDIS accredited inspector, please contact us below:

Control small outbreaks of fire quickly

Fire extinguishers

Even if your premises are kitted out with the latest in fire warning and suppressant systems, fire extinguishers are an essential asset when it comes to proofing your building against a fire emergency.

They can help control small outbreaks of fire quickly, preventing flames from spreading and causing more damage. In more severe emergencies, fire extinguishers can save lives, helping keep an evacuation route clear and providing crucial access to escape points.
