Product/Service: Fire Alarm takeover, Emergency lighting service, and Fire Alarm Monitoring
Customer: UP Building Products
Location: Newmarket
Date: July 2024
We were approached by a new client, UP Building Products, to take over the maintenance of their fire alarm systems and create a new photoluminescent zone chart for their premises in Newmarket.
While at the premises, we installed fire alarm monitoring to their existing system. Monitored fire alarms mean that if the fire alarm goes off, the alert is sent to a call centre, which checks with the keyholders to confirm if there is a fire before alerting the fire service. This can improve the speed at which a fire is detected and responded to, preventing property damage, injury, and costly repairs. Monitored fire alarms are monitored 24/7, 365 days a year for maximum safety.
Our engineers also conducted a full, 3-hour emergency lighting test at the premises. It is important that emergency lighting can remain on for at least 3 hours after a power failure, to ensure that anyone in the building during an emergency can make their way safely out. At Prestige, we can install, design, and test emergency lighting systems to ensure that they are of the highest quality.
Our work doesn’t end once a new system is in place, we will be back to UP Building Products in January 2025 for the first 6-monthly service of their fire alarm system and will conduct our annual emergency lighting test in July of that same year.
UP Building Products was pleased with our thorough and professional approach, which has given them peace of mind, knowing their systems are in safe hands. We look forward to our ongoing partnership and ensuring that their premises remain safety-compliant and secure.
