Fire alarm & smoke detection

Fire alarm and smoke detection

Systems designed, installed, tested and maintained — commercial premises, HMOs and homes.

01The detail

Detection is the half of fire safety that has to work at 3am with nobody watching. TJC Fire & Electrical design, install, test and maintain fire alarm and smoke detection systems for commercial premises, HMOs and homes across Dorset, Hampshire and the surrounding counties.

Commercial fire alarm systems

From a single café to a multi-storey premises: system design to the building’s risk level, panel and detector installation, zoning, and the ongoing testing your insurer and licence expect. Not sure what category you need? Start with our guides to whether you need a fire alarm system and which system suits you best.

Smoke detection for homes and HMOs

Interlinked detection appropriate to the property’s layout and risk — fitted alongside rewires and refurbishments, and specified to what an HMO licence actually requires. See our HMO electrical page for the landlord side.
