Fire Alarms
Fire Alarm Services
At GBEC, we provide fully comprehensive fire alarm services to ensure the safety, security, and regulatory compliance of residential, commercial, and industrial properties across Scotland.
Our expert team supports your project at every stage – design, installation, commissioning, testing, and ongoing maintenance – all tailored specifically to meet the latest UK standards, particularly BS 5839‑1 for non-domestic premises and BS 5839‑6 for domestic systems.
Our Services Include:
Design & Specification
We assess your building’s layout, usage, occupancy, and escape routes to determine the most suitable fire alarm category (Categories L or P, from L1–L5 and P1–P2), and then design a system that ensures comprehensive coverage.
Supply & Installation
We install a broad range of high-quality systems – from single smoke detectors in homes to fully addressable, multi-zone systems in industrial facilities – using leading brands and best practices.
System Commissioning & Certification
Every installation is professionally commissioned, tested, and certified in line with BS 5839. We supply all necessary documentation and hand it over with your fire logbook for legal compliance.
Routine Maintenance & Testing
BS 5839 recommends regular inspections – typically every six months for commercial systems. Our engineers perform full checks on detection devices, control panels, battery back-ups, and notification circuits, all recorded thoroughly.
Fault‑Finding & Emergency Support
Facing issues or a system failure? We offer fast call-out support and expert fault-finding to ensure your alarm works correctly – day or night.

Looking to extend, upgrade, or integrate with other security systems (e.g. intruder alarms, access control, or emergency voice alarms)? Our solutions are designed for smooth interoperability and future scalability.
