Safety first
If there is a fire or you suspect one, follow your site fire plan, evacuate and call 999. Don't wait for us or fill in a form first. Never open panels, reset an unexplained alarm or disable protection. From a safe place, an authorised person may read and photograph the closed panel, then contact your competent maintenance provider.

Design always follows a survey of the Grays building and the category in your fire risk assessment. We confirm device counts and category on a site survey so the design matches the building.
Conventional, addressable and wireless in Grays
Grays premises vary widely; category M, L or P still comes from your fire risk assessment before we fix device counts.
Conventional
Zones rather than individual device addresses — often right for smaller Grays commercial premises and straightforward layouts.
Addressable
Each device has its own address, so the Grays panel names the exact detector or call point. Better for larger or more complex buildings.
Wireless / hybrid
Purpose-built fire radio devices can cut cable runs in occupied Grays buildings. We only recommend them where a survey supports it.
Categories M, L and P
Manual (M), life protection (L1–L5) and property protection (P1/P2) for Grays come from your fire risk assessment. We design to the category you need.
