The installation of an alarm system is as important as its quality. We install conventional, addressable, and analogue or intelligent fire alarm systems according to the type, size, and complexity of your commercial space.
The size of your business determines the fire installation unit that we’ll recommend. For example, we’ll offer a different solution for a single-office premises compared to a larger multi-storeyed structure.
The alarm system we recommend installing will also depend on the nature of your business. Businesses like restaurants, chemical factories, beauty salons, and paint shops are at higher risk of fires and need more complex fire alarm fittings.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade your outdated alarm systems or commission an alarm network for a new building, our team of certified electricians have got you covered.
With Oaktree Electrical, your fire and smoke alarm installer will look at your building’s existing automation and control system and integrate the new alarm installation with this. We can also connect your new alarm system with your emergency lighting for safer evacuation and security systems, and access control to trigger automatic shutdowns, alerts, or evacuations.
With the right integration, your complete system will be able to offer better smoke control, easily share sensor data, locate people during an emergency, provide unified access to building information, and allow for easier maintenance.
The most critical feature of any fire alarm system is the ability to identify and detect dangers early. Early detection allows the occupants of your building more time to evacuate and alert emergency services, while also preventing large-scale property damage.
Some advanced detection technologies we install include monitored fire alarms to send automatic alerts to local fire and rescue services, and infrared (IR) camera systems to detect the heat generated in the early stages of a fire before detecting smoke or flames.
As fire and smoke alarm installers, our job doesn’t end at alarm installation and upgrades. We also offer comprehensive ongoing maintenance and support services, including scheduled inspections, system testing, battery replacements, and fault diagnostics.
With our proactive support and maintenance approach, we’re here to ensure your smoke and fire alarm systems are compliant with regulations and running as intended.
Early detection and warnings give you enough time to take steps to evacuate safely and prevent the spread of fire.
A fire alarm system will help you limit damage from fire and heat to your property, equipment, and data.
Having a compliant fire alarm system in place demonstrates your compliance with safety regulations and should prevent insurance from denying claims due to non-compliance.
From a legal standpoint, having fire and smoke detection systems also means you’ll comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Finally, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your staff, customers, and operations are protected round the clock.

Following BS 5839 guidelines and after completing a comprehensive risk assessment, we’ll install smoke detectors in offices, corridors, escape routes, and high-risk areas of your commercial building.
Basic fire alarm installation units may start from £50 per unit, but the exact cost depends on the number of detectors, the wiring required, and the complexity of the system.
