Commercial Fire Safety and Fire Alarms in Surrey

Design, Installation & Maintenance for Commercial Properties Across Surrey & London

Fire safety isn't something you can afford to get wrong. A system that isn't installed correctly, tested regularly, or maintained properly puts people at risk and leaves your business exposed legally.

Medlec designs, installs and maintains fire safety systems for commercial properties across Surrey, London and the Home Counties. From fire risk assessments to full system installations and ongoing maintenance contracts, we make sure your premises are protected and compliant.

What We Cover

Fire Risk Assessments

Before anything is installed or upgraded, you need to know where the risks are. Our certified engineers carry out thorough fire risk assessments for commercial properties, identifying hazards and recommending the right measures to address them.

Fire safety isn't just about compliance – it's about protecting people and property. We handle everything from risk assessments through to installation and ongoing maintenance.

Commercial Fire Alarm Installation & Maintenance

We design and install commercial fire alarm systems to BS 5839 standards, the British Standard that governs fire detection and alarm systems in commercial buildings. Whether you need a Category L1 system providing full coverage in a high-risk environment, a P1 system for property protection, or a simpler manual M system, we'll specify the right solution for your building, your risk profile, and your insurer's requirements.

Our fire alarm maintenance contracts cover the weekly user checks, the six-monthly servicing required under BS 5839, and the annual full system tests. You get clear documentation after every visit — the audit trail your insurer and the Building Safety Regulator expect.

Emergency Lighting Testing & Installation

Emergency lighting is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and the British Standard BS 5266 sets out how systems should be designed, installed and tested. We install LED emergency lighting systems for commercial premises and provide the monthly, six-monthly and annual testing required to keep your building compliant.

Skipping emergency lighting checks is one of the most common reasons commercial premises fail fire safety audits. Our maintenance contracts make sure the tests happen, the results are documented, and the certification is in place if an inspector asks.

Fire Suppression & Containment

We install fire suppression systems and fire containment measures including fire doors, fire curtains and cavity barriers — essential for slowing the spread of fire and giving people time to evacuate safely.

Fire Safety Maintenance Contracts

Fire safety systems need regular testing and servicing to stay compliant and operational. We offer maintenance contracts tailored to your property, covering routine testing, battery replacements, detector cleaning and priority emergency callouts.

24/7 Emergency Fire Safety Response

A fire alarm fault at 2am, an emergency light that's failed during an evacuation drill, a system fault flagged the day before an audit, fire safety problems don't wait for office hours.

Our engineers are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We aim to respond within 12 hours across Surrey and London, with common spare parts on the van so most faults are resolved on the first visit.

Call 0333 344 5949 any time, day or night.
