Fire alarms, emergency lighting, extinguishers, CCTV and access control for Gloucester businesses, designed, installed and maintained by BAFE- and SSAIB-certified engineers with 24/7 support.

Fire Safety Systems for Gloucester Businesses

Gloucester has a varied mix of premises to protect: Victorian warehouses around Gloucester Docks, offices and shops in the city centre, and larger industrial and distribution units at Quedgeley and Brockworth. Each one has different fire risks, and each needs a system designed around the building rather than a generic package.

CTS Fire has protected businesses since 1992. From our base in Evesham, we design, install and maintain fire alarms, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, CCTV and access control across Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. You deal with one team from the first survey to the annual service, and we keep your system compliant long after installation.

Fire Alarm Installation & Maintenance in Gloucester

A fire alarm that is poorly designed or poorly maintained fails when it matters most, and it can also leave you in breach of your legal duties. We design every Gloucester system to BS 5839-1, the British Standard for commercial fire detection and alarm systems, and tailor it to your layout, occupancy and risk.

Fire Alarm System Design and Installation Gloucester

  • Site survey and system design matched to your building and fire risk assessment
  • Conventional and addressable systems, with smoke, heat and specialist detection such as aspirating and beam detectors for warehouses and large spaces
  • Installation planned around your working hours to keep disruption low
  • Commissioning, certification and staff handover so you know how the system works

Commercial Fire Alarm Maintenance in Gloucester

BS 5839-1 recommends that commercial fire alarm systems are inspected and serviced periodically, typically every six months. Our maintenance visits include:

  • Testing of detectors, call points and sounders
  • Control panel inspection and battery checks
  • Replacement of faulty components
  • A written service report and logbook entry for your records
  • Zone charts produced and updated, so staff and fire crews can see exactly where an alarm has activated

24/7 Fire Alarm Monitoring in Gloucester

Monitoring connects your alarm to a 24/7 receiving centre, so the right people are alerted the moment it activates, even when your premises are empty overnight or at weekends. It speeds up the response, limits damage and supports what your insurer expects.

Emergency Lighting Installation & Testing in Gloucester

When the power fails, or smoke fills a corridor, emergency lighting is what gets people out safely. It is a legal requirement for most commercial premises, and it only works if it is tested.

Emergency Light Testing Gloucester: What Is Required

  • Monthly: a short functional test of every emergency light
  • Annually: a full-duration discharge test, typically three hours, to confirm the batteries last
  • Records: every test logged in a certified logbook, ready for inspection

We carry out emergency lighting testing across Gloucester and provide a certificate and report after every visit, replacing faulty luminaires promptly.

Emergency Lighting Installation Gloucester

We design and install emergency lighting to BS 5266-1 for offices, warehouses, schools, hotels and retail units, covering escape routes, open areas and high-risk areas. New builds, refurbishments and upgrades of ageing systems are all covered.

Fire Extinguisher Servicing & Installation in Gloucester

Extinguishers are your first line of defence, but only if they are the right type, in the right place and in working order. We supply and install fire extinguishers for Gloucester businesses and carry out annual servicing in line with BS 5306-3.

  • Extinguisher supply and positioning to match the risks in each area
  • Annual servicing, refills and replacement
  • Service labels and a record of every extinguisher on site

Pair extinguisher servicing with your fire alarm and emergency lighting visits, and we can often cover everything in a single scheduled appointment.

CCTV Installation & Security Systems in Gloucester

Good CCTV deters crime, protects staff and gives you evidence when something goes wrong. We design, install and maintain CCTV for Gloucester businesses, from a single-camera shopfront to multi-building sites.

  • Design: camera positions, coverage and storage planned around your premises and security risks
  • Installation: HD and IP camera systems with remote viewing
  • Maintenance: regular checks so cameras, recorders and storage keep working

Door Access Control Systems in Gloucester

Control who enters your building, and when. Our SSAIB-certified engineers install door access systems for Gloucester offices, schools, warehouses and multi-site operations, from a single door to fully integrated systems linked to your alarm and CCTV.

  • Keypad, card, fob and proximity entry
  • Systems that integrate with fire alarms so doors release safely in an emergency
  • Ongoing maintenance and support

‍

Fire Risk Assessments, Fire Door Inspections & Specialist Systems in Gloucester

Beyond everyday systems, we support Gloucester businesses with:

  • Fire risk assessments: the legal starting point for every commercial building, identifying hazards and the actions needed
  • Fire door inspection: checking doors, seals and intumescent protection so they hold back fire and smoke as designed
  • Gas suppression systems: protecting server rooms and critical equipment without water damage
  • Smoke ventilation systems: keeping escape routes clear of smoke
  • Dry and wet risers and hydrants: testing and maintenance for fire service access

Fire & Security Solutions for Gloucester Industries

We tailor systems to how your building is used.

  • Education: certified fire alarms, CCTV, emergency lighting and access control for schools and colleges
  • Commercial offices: complete fire and security packages with a single maintenance contract
  • Warehouses and industrial facilities: robust detection and lighting for large, demanding sites in areas such as Quedgeley and Brockworth
  • Hospitality: fire and security for hotels, pubs and restaurants, including older and listed buildings
  • Construction: temporary and permanent fire and site security

Fire Safety Compliance for Gloucester Businesses: Your Legal Duties

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for a business premises must carry out a fire risk assessment, provide suitable fire detection and warning, keep emergency routes and lighting working, and maintain the equipment. Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service can inspect premises and enforce the law, and insurers often require evidence of regular servicing.

CTS Fire works to the relevant British Standards, including BS 5839-1 for fire alarms, BS 5266-1 for emergency lighting and BS 5306-3 for extinguishers, and we keep the paperwork you need to show compliance.
