Who carries out the work?
Alex Evans and his team of directly employed engineers deliver every installation, service visit and inspection. We do not subcontract fire alarm work, which means the engineer who surveys your property is accountable for the system that is commissioned and for the certificate that carries our name. Engineers are insured and work to the standards listed above, and the same team covers Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Bristol, Pontypridd, Merthyr Tydfil, Bridgend, Gloucester and Cwmbran.
For managing agents and commercial clients running a contractor approval process, we can supply insurance certificates, method statements and risk assessments, sample certification and references from comparable properties before onboarding.
