That’s why every fire alarm installation begins with a detailed site survey.
Our engineers assess:
Building layout
Occupancy levels
Escape routes
High-risk areas
Plant rooms
Kitchens
Storage areas
Existing fire protection

Most commercial buildings have legal responsibilities when it comes to fire detection.
A professionally installed fire alarm system not only protects staff and visitors but also supports business continuity and helps reduce the potential impact of fire-related incidents.

- Industrial units

- Apartment blocks

Fire Alarm Systems For Schools & Healthcare Facilities
Schools, colleges, healthcare facilities and care environments require carefully designed fire detection systems that prioritise occupant safety while minimising unnecessary disruption.
At Amiga our experienced engineers understand the unique requirements of these environments and design systems that provide reliable early warning while helping reduce false alarms wherever possible.
Working closely with facilities managers, estates teams and responsible persons, we ensure every installation is completed safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.
Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
Addressable fire alarm systems are widely used in larger commercial buildings where quickly identifying the source of an alarm is essential.
Each device has its own unique address, allowing the control panel to identify the exact detector or call point that has been activated.
This provides several advantages, including:
- Faster identification of incidents
- Reduced investigation time
- Improved maintenance
- Easier fault diagnosis
- Greater flexibility for larger buildings
- Future system expansion
Addressable systems are often recommended for larger offices, schools, healthcare facilities and multi-storey commercial premises where detailed information can significantly improve emergency response.
SMART SECURITY
Complete Protection For Your Home Or Business
Amiga is regulated by the Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) and our expert team of engineers carry out work to the highest industry standards. All our work is fully insured. We also guarantee to save you money if you switch your existing maintenance contract to Amiga.
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
Conventional fire alarm systems remain an excellent choice for many smaller commercial buildings.
Rather than identifying individual devices, these systems divide the building into detection zones, allowing users to quickly establish the general location of an alarm activation.
Conventional systems offer:
Cost-effective installation
Straightforward operation
Reliable performance
Simple maintenance
Ideal protection for smaller premises
Our engineers will recommend whether a conventional or addressable system is the most suitable option based on your building, occupancy and future plans.
Wireless Fire Alarm Systems
Wireless technology has transformed the way many fire alarm systems are installed.
For listed buildings, occupied premises or properties where cabling would be difficult, wireless fire alarm systems provide an effective alternative while maintaining high levels of protection.
Wireless systems are particularly suitable for:
Heritage buildings
Schools during term time
Hotels
Office refurbishments
Temporary buildings
Occupied commercial premises
They can often reduce installation time while minimising disruption to your staff, customers or daily operations.
Fire Detection Technology
Modern fire alarm systems utilise a range of intelligent detection technologies to provide rapid, reliable warning of potential fire incidents.
Depending on your building and level of risk, systems may include:
Optical smoke detectors
Heat detectors
Multi-sensor detectors
Beam detection
Aspirating smoke detection
Manual call points
Audible sounders
Visual alarm devices
Voice evacuation systems
Our experienced engineers will recommend the most appropriate detection methods based on the building’s layout and intended use, ensuring reliable protection without unnecessary false alarms.
Fire Alarm Servicing & Maintenance
Installing a fire alarm system is only the beginning. Regular fire alarm servicing and maintenance are essential to ensure your system continues operating correctly and remains compliant with current fire safety standards.
A fire alarm system that isn’t properly maintained may fail when it’s needed most, putting people, property and business continuity at risk.
At Amiga, we provide planned fire alarm maintenance for businesses, schools, healthcare providers, industrial facilities and commercial premises throughout Maidstone and Kent.
Our maintenance engineers carry out comprehensive inspections designed to identify potential hazards and issues before they become costly problems.
Our servicing includes:
Fire alarm panel inspections
Detector testing
Manual call point testing
Sounder testing
Battery inspections
Power supply checks
Device cleaning
Fault diagnosis
System log reviews
Firmware updates (where applicable)
Regular servicing helps maximise reliability while ensuring your fire alarm system continues to provide the level of protection your building requires.
Fire Alarm Testing
Routine testing forms an important part of any fire safety strategy.
While weekly user testing is recommended for many commercial premises, professional inspections should also be carried out at appropriate intervals by experienced engineers.
Our fire alarm testing service helps verify that every component of your system is operating correctly, including:
Smoke detectors
Heat detectors
Manual call points
Sounders
Control panels
Battery backup
Communication devices
Zone indicators
Any faults identified during testing are explained clearly, together with practical recommendations to restore the system to full working order.
Fire Alarm Monitoring
For many organisations, simply sounding an alarm isn’t enough.
Monitored fire alarm systems provide an additional level of protection by ensuring alarm activations can be transmitted to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), helping ensure a rapid response when required.
Monitoring is particularly beneficial for:
Schools
Care homes
Warehouses
Hotels
Offices
Industrial premises
Multi-site businesses
Our engineers can advise on the most appropriate monitoring solution based on your operational requirements and level of risk.
Emergency Lighting Systems
During a fire or power failure, emergency lighting plays a vital role in helping occupants evacuate safely.
Where emergency lighting is required, Amiga can design, install and maintain systems that provide reliable illumination of escape routes, stairwells, corridors and emergency exits.
Emergency lighting systems are commonly installed in:
Commercial buildings
Schools
Apartment blocks
Warehouses
Retail premises
Hotels
Healthcare facilities
Our engineers ensure emergency lighting is installed and maintained to the appropriate standards, helping support your overall fire safety strategy.
Fire Alarm Maintenance Contracts
Many organisations prefer the reassurance of a planned maintenance agreement.
Our maintenance contracts help ensure your fire alarm system continues operating reliably throughout the year while reducing the likelihood of unexpected faults.
Benefits include:
Planned servicing visits
Priority engineer response
Reduced system downtime
Ongoing compliance support
Professional record keeping
Early fault identification
Improved long-term reliability
Whether you operate a single office or multiple commercial sites, we’ll tailor a maintenance programme to suit your organisation.

Our experienced engineers remain up to date with current industry standards and best practices, ensuring every installation is designed and maintained to provide dependable performance and support compliance requirements.
If you’re unsure whether your existing system remains suitable for your premises, we’re happy to carry out a professional assessment and provide practical recommendations.
Integrated Fire & Security Systems
Many customers choose to combine their fire alarm system with other building management technologies.
Integrated systems can include:
CCTV systems
Intruder alarms
Access control
Video intercoms
Remote monitoring
Building management systems
Combining multiple systems into one integrated solution improves operational efficiency also making it much easier to manage your property’s overall security and life safety requirements.
Why Professional Fire Alarm Installation Matters
A fire alarm system should never be viewed as simply another electrical installation.
Correct detector positioning, system design and ongoing maintenance all play a critical role in ensuring the system performs effectively when lives depend upon it.
Our engineers carefully consider:
Building use
Occupancy levels
Escape routes
Ceiling heights
Environmental conditions
Future expansion
False alarm reduction
Long-term maintenance
By designing every system around the individual building rather than relying on standard layouts, we provide fire detection solutions that deliver dependable protection both now and in the future.
At Amiga, our goal is simple, to help protect people, property and businesses with professionally designed fire alarm systems backed by expert installation and ongoing support.
