CTS Fire provides fully certified fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, CCTV, access control, and fire extinguisher services tailored specifically to education settings. With over 30 years of experience, BAFE and SSAIB certifications, and 24/7 emergency support, we're the trusted long-term safety partner for education premises across Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and the wider UK.
Schools and colleges are among the most demanding environments for fire safety and security. With hundreds of students, staff, and visitors on site every day, across buildings that range from Victorian-era classrooms to modern multi-storey blocks, there’s no room for systems that underperform or fall out of compliance.
At CTS Fire, we’ve been designing, installing, and maintaining fire and security systems since 1992. We work with education settings of all sizes, delivering tailored solutions that keep people safe, meet legal requirements, and cause minimal disruption to the school day.
Whether you’re a primary school with a single building or a college campus spread across multiple sites, we have the expertise, certifications, and 24/7 support to be your long-term safety partner.
Fire safety in education isn’t the same as fire safety in a standard commercial building. Schools and colleges face a distinct set of challenges:
Getting fire safety right in an education environment means working with a provider who understands these pressures, not one who applies a one-size-fits-all solution.

A fire alarm system in an education setting needs to do more than just detect smoke. It needs to be zoned intelligently so that staff can identify exactly where an incident is occurring, reliable enough to avoid the disruption and safeguarding risks caused by false alarms, and fully compliant with BS 5839-1.
Our BAFE-certified engineers design and install fire alarm systems built around your specific building layout, occupancy levels, and compliance requirements. We also carry out regular inspections and servicing throughout the year, so your system is always functioning as it should, and you always have the documentation to prove it.
In the event of a power failure or fire, your building needs to be safe to evacuate quickly and calmly. Emergency lighting along escape routes, in stairwells, and at assembly points isn’t just best practice; it’s a legal requirement.
We install and maintain emergency lighting systems that meet current BS 5266 standards, designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing setup. From new installations to upgrades of older systems, we ensure your site is covered at every point of evacuation.
Safeguarding students and protecting school property are two sides of the same coin. A well-designed CCTV system supports both, giving you clear visibility across your entire site - entrances, corridors, car parks, playgrounds, and any areas of particular concern.
Our SSAIB-certified engineers design and install bespoke CCTV solutions for education settings, with systems that are fully integrated, remotely accessible where required, and built to handle the specific demands of a busy school environment. We also provide ongoing maintenance to ensure your cameras and recording equipment stay operational year-round.
Controlling who enters and exits your building is one of the most effective safeguarding measures a school can put in place. Modern access control systems allow you to manage entry points centrally, restrict access to sensitive areas such as server rooms or admin offices, and maintain a clear record of movements across your site.
From single-door setups at a main entrance to complex multi-door systems across a large campus, our SSAIB-certified team designs and installs access control solutions that are secure, practical, and easy for staff to manage day-to-day.
Having the right fire extinguisher in the right location is a straightforward but critical part of any school’s fire safety provision. We supply, install, and annually service portable fire extinguishers across education premises, ensuring the correct extinguisher type is positioned where it’s needed and is always ready for use.
We also provide guidance on signage, placement, and staff training needs, so your team knows exactly what to do in the event of an incident.
We know there are plenty of fire and security companies out there. Here’s why education settings across Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and beyond continue to work with us:
We don’t believe in a quick installation and a handshake. We build long-term relationships with our clients, and many of the schools and colleges we work with have been with us for years.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, schools and colleges are legally required to carry out regular fire risk assessments, maintain all fire safety systems in good working order, and keep up-to-date records of testing and servicing. Governors, headteachers, and facilities managers can be held personally liable if these duties are not fulfilled.
CTS Fire helps you stay on the right side of the law. Every installation comes with full documentation, and our maintenance contracts ensure you always have the service records you need, whether for a routine inspection or an Ofsted review.
