Professional fire alarm design and installation demands both technical expertise and careful planning to guarantee your property receives maximum protection.

At Blake Fire & Security Systems, we deliver extensive solutions that exceed fire alarm regulations while providing lasting peace of mind.

We start by conducting a thorough site survey to understand your building's unique requirements. Our NSI Gold-certified team then designs a bespoke system that addresses specific risks and guarantees ideal coverage.

"What a credit your engineers are to your company, whether fire extinguishers, light or alarms. I never have any issues with invoices, booking in visits, early or late, your engineers do not spend all their time with us on their phones, they usually don’t even have a coffee - although we do ask. They bring all the equipment they need for the job, are smart and clean."

Wethersfield C of E Primary School, Near Braintree, Essex

They particularly commend our engineers' clean work practices, prompt response times and willingness to answer questions, demonstrating why we're Braintree's trusted choice for fire alarm installations.

"I would just like to thank you and all the team that have been here with me this week, for an absolutely fantastic service and a great job well done. Your colleagues have been helpful, informative and very patient with me as a business owner with little or no understanding of fire regulations and our responsibilities as a business owner. Things have been explained well and the training I have received has been excellent. Further to this I would add that the Fire Risk Assessor who has been on site this morning spoke very highly of your company was assured that we were in good hands!"
