Fire alarms for a growing town

Ashford has grown fast, and so have its business parks and industrial estates, including Orbital Park, Eureka Park, Waterbrook and Cobbs Wood. New units and fit-outs need fire alarms designed to BS 5839-1:2025 from the start, and changes of use need existing systems checked and extended.

Out in the borough, Tenterden and the surrounding villages have listed buildings, farms and rural businesses, where wireless systems often make more sense than cable.

  • Industrial units and warehouses on Ashford’s business parks
  • New-build offices and commercial fit-outs

Kent Fire and Rescue usually needs a fire confirmed first

For most premises, callers must confirm a fire, or signs of fire, before crews are sent to an automatic fire alarm, day and night. Your fire procedure needs to say who checks and who calls 999.
