Here at Fire Stoppers Ltd, we are highly experienced in the designing, installing, commissioning and maintenance of all types of fire alarm systems to provide emergency protection for your property and assets. This is done within the current fire standards BS 5839-1:2017.

Types of Fire Alarms

- Wireless Fire Alarm Systems
  Wireless (radio) systems work like addressable alarms but without cabling. They’re fast to install, cause minimal disruption, and each device has its own unique address.
- Conventional Fire Systems
  A cost-effective choice for small businesses, HMOs, or projects with tight budgets.

  Best for larger sites, as each device has its own address, making it easy to quickly identify and respond to an activated detector.

Understanding Fire Alarm Categories (BS 5839-1)

BS 5839-1 sets out eight categories of fire alarm systems for non-domestic buildings, from basic manual setups to advanced addressable systems. The right choice depends on your building size, use, and compliance needs.

Fire Stoppers can help you choose the best system category for your premises, ensuring full compliance and reliable protection.

Category	Description
Category M System	These are manual systems and therefore, incorporate no automatic fire detectors.
Category L System	These are automatic fire detection systems intended for the protection of life.
L1 System	A subcategory to the L System this system is installed throughout all areas of the building.
L2 System	A subcategory to the L Systems these systems are installed only in defined parts of the building, including all parts necessary to satisfy the recommendations of the code for a Category L3 system. The additional areas protected, over and above those protected in a Category L3 system, are those in which there is either high likelihood of fire starting or a high risk to life if fire does start.
