Fire doesn’t wait. Whether it’s caused by faulty wiring, human error or arson, the damage from a fire can be devastating. A professionally installed fire alarm helps detect the danger early and gives everyone the time they need to act quickly and safely.
In 2023, fire and rescue services in the UK responded to more than 598,504 fire incidents in the year ending September 2024, with 13,139 of those in non-residential buildings. It’s a clear reminder of just how vital fire safety is for every business and public space.
Triton Security delivers smart, reliable fire alarm systems designed to protect staff, customers, premises and assets. We work with housing developers, commercial landlords, property managers and office operators to provide systems tailored to their exact needs.
Fire alarms don’t just help save lives, they help you meet legal obligations, reduce damage and avoid serious disruption to your business.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s your responsibility as a business owner, building operator or landlord to identify fire risks and take the right precautions. That includes having a suitable fire detection and warning system in place.
Whether you’re running a single office or managing an entire development, a well-designed alarm system is essential to meeting fire safety regulations and keeping everyone protected.
Investing in an alarm comes with plenty of practical benefits:
Our systems can be fully integrated with additional safety features like Automatic Opening Vent systems (AOV systems) and 24/7 alarm monitoring, for even more protection.
Triton Security offers a wide selection of fire safety systems to suit all types of buildings, from compact office spaces to multi-storey developments.
Our alarms include both automatic and manual systems and we tailor every setup to suit your site’s layout, occupancy and risk level. System options can include:
• Manual call points
• Smoke and heat detectors
• Integrated PA (public address) systems
• Remote monitoring via Triton’s 24/7 alarm receiving centre
We begin with a full site audit, carried out by our experienced in-house specialists. From there, we build a bespoke system to suit your exact requirements. Whether you need to meet building regs for a new development or want to upgrade an older system, we’ve got the expertise to guide you through.
If connected to our alarm centre, your system will be monitored around the clock. Our trained team will contact the fire brigade the moment an alarm is triggered, helping to limit potential damage and disruption.
We install fire alarm systems for businesses across the UK every week, helping to protect people, premises and operations. But it’s not just peace of mind our systems provide, installing a Triton fire alarm could also significantly lower your insurance premiums.
Fire alarm systems fall into two main types, wired and wireless. While both are designed to detect fire and raise the alarm, the way they’re installed, powered and maintained varies. Here’s how they compare:
Wired alarms are the more traditional option, using physical cabling to connect every part of the system. They’re ideal for new builds or buildings undergoing major refurbishment.
• Physical wiring connects all detectors and devices
• Best suited to new build sites or full refurbishments
• Requires cabling to be installed through walls and ceilings
• Longer installation time and more disruption to premises
• Lower upfront cost for equipment, but higher installation costs
• Powered by mains electricity with battery backup
• Very stable with minimal interference
• Can be more difficult to reconfigure or relocate later
• May be less discreet due to visible wiring in some buildings
• Often preferred for large-scale commercial properties
Wireless systems offer greater flexibility and a quicker installation process. They’re a great choice for occupied buildings, listed properties or where cabling would be difficult.
• Uses radio signals to link detectors to the control panel
• Ideal for retrofits, occupied spaces or listed buildings
• No invasive cabling, devices are mounted neatly on surfaces
• Quicker and cleaner installation, with minimal disruption
• Higher equipment cost but lower installation labour
• Powered by long-life batteries with reserve battery backup
• Signal strength depends on layout, wireless surveys confirm coverage
• Easy to expand, relocate or reconfigure as needs change
• Offers a neat finish with no exposed wiring
• Great option for heritage buildings or growing businesses
For larger sites, or sites with different types of buildings, a Hybrid Fire Alarm system could be what you need to upgrade your fire safety. A hybrid system combines hard-wired and wireless, radio technologies to feedback to the same control panel to give you full peace of mind. Benefits of a hybrid system include:
• More flexibility
• Improved system reliability
• Convenient installation
• Greater accessibility
• Easily adapted and upgraded
• Bespoke solutions to suit your site

A commercial fire alarm system is a network of devices such as smoke detectors, manual call points and sounders installed across a business or non-domestic building to detect fire or smoke and alert occupants to evacuate.
The relevant standard is BS 5839-1, which outlines the code of practice for the design, installation and maintenance of fire alarm systems in non-domestic premises.
In most cases, yes. The type and complexity of the system required will depend on the building’s size, layout and use, as well as the findings from your fire risk assessment.
Fire alarm systems should always be installed by trained professionals familiar with British Standards and fire safety regulations. Triton’s engineers are qualified, experienced and up to date with industry best practice.
Costs vary depending on the size of the building, number of devices, system type (wired or wireless), and whether you require extras like 24/7 monitoring. We offer free assessments and tailored quotes.
