The risks and dangers of a fire to human life, property and equipment should never be underestimated, and it is never too soon to think about preparing for such an event or situation, whether that be in your commercial business premises or in your own home. Highlander are experts in assessing fire prevention regulations, and installing a full range of fire prevention services and products to meet all legal and personal requirements, enabling early fire detection, fast warning and safe evacuation.
Highlander provides a range of fire protection services for commercial and residential properties across Ayrshire and Scotland. Our services include fire alarm design and installation, fire alarm monitoring, fire extinguishers, fire risk assessments, planned fire alarm maintenance and residential smoke and heat detection systems. We work with businesses, care homes, landlords and homeowners to provide fire safety solutions suited to their premises and requirements.
Businesses and other duty holders responsible for most non-domestic premises in Scotland are required to assess fire risks and keep their assessments under review in accordance with Scottish fire safety legislation. Highlander provides fire risk assessments to help identify potential hazards, assess existing fire safety measures, and recommend appropriate improvements. Regular reviews help businesses maintain suitable fire precautions and meet their legal responsibilities.
Commercial fire alarm systems should normally be inspected and serviced by a competent provider at least every six months, in accordance with the recommendations of BS 5839-1. Some premises, including care homes and other higher-risk environments, may require more frequent maintenance. Highlander provides scheduled fire alarm servicing, testing, fault diagnosis, and repairs to help keep systems operating reliably. Routine weekly testing by the premises’ responsible staff is also important.
