Fire alarm systems in Wigan, designed around your building, risk and compliance duties
At Argus Fire and Security Ltd, we design, install, commission and maintain fire alarm systems in line with the relevant British Standards. For commercial premises, this usually means working to BS 5839-1, which covers fire detection and fire alarm systems for non-domestic buildings.
A fire alarm system should be designed around the building it protects. The right specification will depend on the layout of the premises, how the building is used, the people inside it and whether the system is primarily required for life protection, property protection, or both.
Fire alarm systems are commonly grouped into different categories. Life protection systems are usually classed as L category systems, with manual systems classed as M category systems. Property protection systems are classed as P category systems and are designed to help protect the building, contents and business continuity.
Our experienced engineers can design fire alarm systems for commercial, industrial and residential settings across Wigan and the wider North West. Commercial premises must meet different requirements to domestic properties, which is why a proper security audit or site survey is important before any system is specified or installed.
Argus Fire and Security Ltd holds BAFE approval for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire detection systems under BS 5839-1. We are also NSI Gold accredited for fire alarms, intruder alarms, CCTV systems and access control, giving customers confidence that our work is independently assessed and carried out to recognised industry standards.
We can also support businesses with ongoing maintenance contracts, remote monitoring and specialist systems such as Gent fire alarm systems. If you need a compliant fire alarm system in Wigan, or you would like advice on upgrading or maintaining an existing system, contact Argus Fire and Security today.

Fire Alarm Maintenance and Monitoring in Wigan
Regular fire alarm maintenance is essential for keeping your system reliable, compliant and ready to respond in an emergency. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, the responsible person for a premises must ensure that appropriate fire safety systems are in place and properly maintained.
For most commercial fire alarm systems, this means arranging routine servicing by a competent fire alarm engineer. Many systems are serviced twice a year, with the full system checked over the course of a 12-month period. This helps identify faults, battery issues, detector problems, sounder faults and any changes that may affect the system’s performance.
Fire alarm systems also need suitable standby power in the event of a mains failure. This usually includes battery backup to keep the system operational and enough capacity to run the alarm sounders for a suitable period if the alarm is activated. For off-site monitored fire alarm systems, the signalling equipment and associated power supplies must also be suitable for the system design and monitoring requirements.
Argus Fire and Security Ltd can provide ongoing fire alarm maintenance contracts, system testing, fault support and remote monitoring for businesses in Wigan and across the wider North West. We can also advise on monitored systems, keyholder response and brigade response where this is available and appropriate.

Commercial Fire Alarm Systems in Wigan
Argus Fire and Security Ltd designs, installs and maintains commercial fire alarm systems for businesses in Wigan, the wider North West and across the UK. Whether you need a fire alarm system for an office, warehouse, retail unit, school, industrial site or multi-use commercial building, our engineers can recommend a system that suits your premises and compliance requirements.
Every commercial building is different, which is why we do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. The right system will depend on the size of the property, how it is used, the number of people on site, escape routes, risk levels and whether the system needs to support life protection, property protection, or both.
Our team can design and install a wide range of commercial fire detection systems, from straightforward alarm systems with manual call points and sounders through to more advanced systems with multiple detection zones, evacuation alerts, remote monitoring and integration with other fire and security equipment.
We offer a free, no-obligation site survey and quote, giving you clear advice before any work begins. As part of this process, we can explain the most suitable options for your building, provide an estimated installation timescale and ensure your staff understand how to use the system once it has been installed.
Alongside commercial fire alarm installation, Argus Fire and Security Ltd can also support your business with ongoing fire alarm maintenance, remote monitoring and wider security services including CCTV systems, access control and intruder alarms.
