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.

Conventional, addressable and wireless in Hornchurch
Around Hornchurch, conventional, addressable and wireless options are chosen after survey — not from a catalogue guess.
Conventional
Zones rather than individual device addresses — often right for smaller Hornchurch commercial premises and straightforward layouts.
Addressable
Each device has its own address, so the Hornchurch 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 Hornchurch 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 Hornchurch come from your fire risk assessment. We design to the category you need.

Not always. For flats, HMOs and mixed-use premises, a competent person must first review the building's fire strategy, evacuation arrangements, assessment and any licensing conditions. The grade and coverage category are agreed from those, not from size alone.
