Fire Alarms and Fire Detection systems

Smoke detector

Ruthven Alarms supply, install and maintain fire alarm systems. Our commercial fire alarm systems are installed to BS5839 standard.

We can also support and maintain your existing fire alarm systems if you already have these in place.

Ruthven Alarms can install addressable and non-addressable fire alarm systems to protect your life and property. Installation of the proper equipment is vital. Our fire alarm control equipment ranges from a single-zone panel to a multi-zone system with battery back-up. A variety of detectors can be used including

  • optical smoke detectors
  • ionisation smoke detectors
  • heat detectors
  • rate of rise heat detectors
  • sounders
  • call points
  • strobes

On larger fire alarm systems there may be a requirement for beam smoke detectors which may be installed in attic space or above hanging ceilings.

We can also attach remote signalling to your fire alarm system. This ensures that the fire brigade is contacted automatically if the fire alarm is activated.

Domestic fire detection and fire alarm systems are becoming increasingly important due to the lifestyle we have today. Ruthven Alarms can provide customers with details of the domestic fire alarm options that are available to provide protection for homeowners, their families and their homes from fire.

Ruthven Alarms can give advice and general information regarding fire detection equipment for the home; the most basic form of detection is just a battery operated smoke detector. More complex alarm systems link smoke and heat detectors so if one detector is activated all the detectors will sound. These fire alarm systems are mains powered with back-up batteries fitted in the detectors All detectors comply with British Standard BS5446.
