Wireless Fire Alarms — cable-free BS 5839 compliant detection for listed buildings and heritage properties
We install wireless fire alarm systems from Hyfire, Hochiki FIREwave, and EMS FireCell — purpose-built for listed buildings, heritage properties, and premises where traditional cabling is impractical or prohibited. Every system is designed and commissioned to BS 5839-1, giving you the same level of protection as a hardwired installation without a single cable run between devices.
Who is this for?
For property owners, facilities managers, and building custodians who need a fully compliant fire detection system without the disruption, cost, or building consent issues that come with traditional cabling.
- Grade I and Grade II listed buildings where consent prohibits visible cabling
- Churches, chapels, and places of worship with heritage restrictions
- Temporary or modular buildings including site cabins and portacabins
- Properties undergoing phased refurbishment where wiring is not yet practical
- Buildings with asbestos-containing materials in ceiling voids or risers
- Care homes and residential settings needing rapid installation with minimal disruption
- Mixed-use buildings where extending an existing wired system is not feasible
Common challenges wireless fire alarms solve
- Listed building consent prevents routing cables through walls, ceilings, or along visible surfaces — wireless eliminates the need entirely
- Asbestos surveys have confirmed hazardous materials in ceiling voids or risers, making traditional cable installation unsafe and expensive to remediate
- You need a fully compliant fire alarm system installed within days rather than weeks, with no disruption to daily operations
- Temporary or relocatable premises require a system that can move with the building without rewiring
- An existing hardwired system needs extending into annexes, loft conversions, or outbuildings where cabling cannot practically reach
- Insurance or fire risk assessment has required fire detection in areas that are structurally difficult to cable

How it works
Site Survey
We visit your property, assess the building construction and layout, and confirm that wireless is the right solution. We carry out initial radio signal testing to identify any potential coverage challenges.
System Design
We design the system to BS 5839-1 with the correct category for your building use. Device locations are specified based on room dimensions, ceiling heights, and environmental conditions.
Radio Survey
Before installation, we carry out a full radio frequency survey to verify signal strength at every proposed device location and confirm mesh network reliability.
Installation
Devices are mounted with minimal fixings — no cable runs between devices. Typical installations are completed in 1-2 days depending on the number of zones.
Commissioning
Every device is individually commissioned with radio signal strength recorded. Cause-and-effect testing confirms correct alarm response across all zones.
Handover & Documentation
You receive a BS 5839 installation certificate, system logbook, as-installed drawings, and a scheduled maintenance plan for ongoing compliance.
