When fire strikes, it can have a devastating effect on your Leeds business or home. If you have experienced this first hand, you will already know the importance of a reliable fire alarm system. If you are lucky enough not to have experienced a fire before, then it is easy to imagine how catastrophic it could be. It is a well-known fact that 8 out of 10 businesses that suffers a major fire will cease trading within three years.
Of all the investments that a business or homeowner can make to their property, an effective fire alarm is among the most important. We at Taybell offer a range of fire alarms that meet the needs of our customers based in and around Leeds whether it’s for domestic or commercial use.
The loss of your home or the massive disruption to your business that a fire can cause is reason enough to ensure you are protected. Fire can destroy data, stock and key business assets which can take a long time to replace, and in many cases is simply irreplaceable. How can you protect your family or employees from the dangers of a fire outbreak? An effective fire alarm can mean the difference between life and death for all the occupants of any building.
What is the real cost of fire alarms? In the long term, a fire alarm system is one of the best investments you can make with a standard system lasting 15 to 20 years. With a typical system cost of £3000.00 for a business, the actual cost is around 41p per day, tax deductible. Would you pay 41p per day to protect your future in Leeds?
It’s natural to ask “what do fire alarms actually cost?” The honest answer is that it depends on the size and complexity of your building and the level of coverage required.
However, it’s worth looking at the bigger picture:
When you compare that to the potential cost of a serious fire – lost business, refurbishment, increased insurance premiums and reputational damage – a properly designed system from Taybell is a very sound investment in your future.
We’ll always provide a clear, itemised quotation for fire alarm installation in Leeds, so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Once your fire alarm is installed, it’s important to think about what happens if it activates when the building is empty.
Taybell can connect your fire alarms in Leeds to a remote monitoring centre. If the system goes into alarm out of hours, the monitoring centre will contact your nominated keyholders or the fire service in line with your agreed response plan.
This gives you confidence that alarms won’t be ignored overnight, at weekends or during holiday shutdowns.
There’s no single “best” fire alarm. The right system depends on the size and layout of your premises, how it’s used and what your responsibilities are under current fire safety legislation. Taybell supplies, installs and maintains several main types of fire alarm systems in Leeds.
Conventional fire alarms are often the minimum requirement for smaller commercial premises. Your building is divided into “zones” and each zone is wired back to the main fire alarm panel.
If the system detects a fire, the panel shows which zone is in alarm. This is usually suitable for:
It doesn’t pinpoint the exact device, but it does quickly narrow down where to investigate.
Twin wire systems work in a very similar way to conventional alarms but allow detectors and sounders to share the same cable.
Benefits include:
These are popular in small to medium sized premises, particularly where keeping installation time down is important.
For larger, more complex or higher risk buildings, addressable fire alarms are usually the best choice. Each detector and call point has a unique “address”, so the panel can display the exact location of an activation.
This is ideal for:
Because the system can identify individual devices, fault finding and maintenance are also more efficient.
Wireless fire alarms use radio signals rather than traditional cabling between devices and the control panel. They work in a similar way to addressable systems but without the need to run cables everywhere.
They’re particularly useful for:
Modern wireless fire alarms are robust, secure and quick to install, making them a very attractive option for many Leeds projects.
