A 54,000 sq ft warehouse, without a cable

At Fileder Filter Systems’ three-storey warehouse in Maidstone, we installed 138 Ajax EN54 wireless devices without running a single cable, and one range extender covered the whole building despite the metal racking. The system includes FireFind, so keyholders see which detector has operated on the building’s floor plan, and Ajax Systems featured the project as a customer story. Read the case study.

As the county town, Maidstone has offices, shops and leisure in the centre, warehouses and industrial units on estates such as Park Wood, 20/20 Business Park and Eclipse Park, and villages across the borough with listed buildings, farms and rural businesses. Each needs a system designed for the building: addressable for larger sites, wireless where cabling would be disruptive.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service has its headquarters in Maidstone, at Tovil, and its policy on automatic fire alarms applies here as everywhere in Kent: for most premises, crews are sent once a fire is confirmed.

Buildings we look after in Maidstone

  • Warehouses and industrial units, like Fileder’s
  • 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.

Fire alarm questions from Maidstone

Can you fit a wireless fire alarm in a large warehouse?

Yes. At Fileder’s 54,000 sq ft warehouse in Maidstone, one range extender covered all 138 devices despite the metal racking. We carry out a radio survey before we install, and hand over a wireless signal report at commissioning.

Do you cover the villages around Maidstone?

Yes, including Bearsted, Coxheath, Headcorn, Lenham, Marden and Staplehurst.

What fire alarm does my Maidstone HMO need?

It depends on the building, its fire risk assessment and Maidstone Borough Council’s licence conditions. The council licenses HMOs with five or more people forming two or more households, and doesn’t run an additional licensing scheme for smaller ones. Smaller HMOs often need a Grade D1 system to Category LD2; larger ones a panel-based Grade A system. Fire alarms for HMOs.

Yes. Nova Security Systems is BAFE SP203-1 Registered Organisation No. 303674 for Design, Installation, Commissioning/Handover and Maintenance, third-party certificated by NSI. The registration covers our work wherever we are, including Maidstone.
