What We Offer

Fire & Life Safety Solutions

From initial design through to commissioning and handover, we coordinate every aspect of your fire and life safety installation — working with accredited engineers to deliver compliant, well-documented systems.

Fire Alarm System Design

Compliant fire alarm system design following BS 5839 and current UK building regulations — from initial risk assessment and system category selection through to full documentation and sign-off.

Approved Third-Party Installation

All fire system installations are carried out by our network of accredited, third-party certified engineers — ensuring every system meets the required compliance standards for insurance and regulatory purposes.

Lockdown & Intruder Systems

Integrated lockdown solutions for schools, offices, and public buildings — enabling rapid site-wide door locking, alert broadcasting, and controlled access during an emergency.

Emergency PA & Voice Alarm

Voice alarm and public address systems designed to BS 5839-8 — providing clear, intelligible emergency announcements across large or complex buildings where a standard sounder is insufficient.

Disabled Refuge Systems

Two-way disabled refuge communication systems installed to BS 5839-9 — enabling occupants who cannot use the stairs to communicate with a control point during an evacuation.

Compliance Documentation

Full as-built drawings, system logbooks, cause-and-effect matrices, and handover documentation — everything required for building control sign-off, fire risk assessments, and ongoing maintenance records.

System Types

The Right System
for Every Building.

Fire alarm systems are not one-size-fits-all. We specify the correct system category and technology for your building type, occupancy, and risk profile — ensuring compliance without over-engineering or unnecessary cost.

Category L — Life Protection

Automatic fire detection systems designed to protect life — covering escape routes, sleeping areas, and high-risk zones. Specified to the appropriate sub-category (L1–L5) based on the building type and risk assessment.

Category P — Property Protection

Systems designed to protect property and minimise damage — typically linked to a monitoring centre for rapid response when a building is unoccupied.

Category M — Manual Systems

Manual call point and sounder systems for lower-risk premises where automatic detection is not required — cost-effective compliance for smaller commercial spaces.

Addressable Systems

Intelligent addressable panels that identify the exact detector or call point in alarm — essential for larger buildings where pinpointing the source of an alert quickly is critical.

Conventional Systems

Zone-based conventional fire alarm systems for smaller premises — reliable, straightforward, and cost-effective for single-floor or low-complexity buildings.

Wireless Fire Systems

Radio-linked fire detection for listed buildings, temporary structures, or sites where cable installation is impractical — fully compliant and with no disruption to fabric or finishes.

Our Approach

We Design. Accredited Engineers Install.

Unifi Systems manages the design, specification, project coordination, and documentation for all fire and life safety systems. Physical installation is carried out exclusively by our network of accredited, third-party certified engineers — ensuring every system meets the required compliance standards for insurance, building control, and fire risk assessments.

This approach means you get a single point of contact for the whole project, with the assurance that the hands-on installation work is done by engineers who hold the right certifications for the job.
