Case Study - Wireless Fire Alarm system

Scope of Work:

Produce Packaging Ltd based in Marden, Kent employed Southern Care Maintenance Ltd to update their fire alarm system with the new Hyfire wireless fire alarm system.

The Hyfire fire alarm system is the most technically advanced and innovative hybrid fire solution available in the UK, which can be used for many types of buildings; commercial, residential and industrial and are fully approved and certified to EN54 part 2 & 4 and to the latest British Standards.

The engineers carried out a full survey to assess the Produce Packaging sites’ suitability for the Hyfire wireless fire alarm system. This was to eliminate the possibility of interference of any other wireless systems close to the site.

Benefits of the Hyfire Fire Alarm System:          

  • Can be installed alongside an existing wired system to ensure a building is always covered for fire protection

  • Minimal disturbance and damage to building aesthetics

  • Easy to replace or upgrade an existing wired fire alarm system

  • Eliminates difficulties and costs associated with wired fire systems

Client Testimonial:

“We needed to update our wireless fire alarm system as we had an old version, which failed the fire inspection that was carried out. We had noticed Southern Care Maintenance Vans around Kent quite a lot and we had heard they delivered high quality work with great customer service. When enquiring, we found their service was reasonably priced and the whole team were really friendly to talk with. The project took off early this year installing one Wireless Fire Alarm System at the Produce Packaging site.

The project was very well managed and completed in time without any hassle. We will definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to update their fire alarm system”
