Fire Alarm Systems
Commercial Fire Detection & Life Safety Systems Scotland
BAFE-accredited design, installation, and maintenance for Scotland’s industrial and commercial assets. We engineer systems that protect your people, your property, and your insurance validity.

Fully Accredited & Insured to £10m Liability
Trusted by Tier-1 Contractors and Facility Managers across Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen.




Is Your Facility Legally Compliant?

A non-compliant fire system represents more than just a technical failure; it is a critical operational risk. For Directors and Facility Managers, the failure to adhere to BS 5839-1:2017 standards can result in voided insurance policies, heavy legal fines, and potential prosecution under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
At Greentech Scotland, we move beyond basic installation. We act as your compliance partners. Whether you are managing a high-risk manufacturing plant or a large-scale logistics hub, our engineers ensure your detection systems are audit-ready 365 days a year. We eliminate the risk of false alarms (which disrupt production and incur Scottish Fire and Rescue Service charges) guaranteeing a system that works exactly when it needs to.
End-to-End Fire System Engineering
From initial concept to ongoing asset management, we handle the entire lifecycle of your fire safety infrastructure.
Category L1-L5 System Design
One size does not fit all. Our design team creates bespoke specifications based on your specific Fire Risk Assessment. Whether you require a Category L1 system for maximum life protection or an L3 system for specific high-risk zones, we design strictly to BAFE SP203-1 standards to ensure total coverage.
Minimally Invasive Installation
We understand that operational uptime is critical. Our NSI Gold engineers are trained to work in "Live Environments," scheduling installations around your shift patterns to ensure zero downtime for your factory floor or office staff. We handle all cabling, containment, and panel fit-outs with clinical precision.
Commissioning & Handover
Installation is only half the job. We vigorously test every loop, sounder, and interface. Upon completion, we provide full BAFE certification, comprehensive logbooks, and "Responsible Person" training for your staff, ensuring you have full ownership and understanding of your asset.
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
Compliance is not a one-off event. Our maintenance contracts ensure your system remains legally compliant. We perform the mandatory six-monthly inspections required by British Standards, testing batteries, loop integrity, and sensor sensitivity to prevent system degradation.
Advanced Detection Technology & Integration
Modern industrial facilities require more than a standard smoke detector. Greentech Scotland deploys advanced detection technology capable of distinguishing between genuine threats and environmental background noise.

Analogue Addressable Systems
For large-scale facilities, knowing exactly where a fire has started is vital. Unlike conventional zonal systems, our Addressable Systems pinpoint the precise detector location, allowing for rapid investigation and evacuation. This intelligence is crucial for complex sites like warehouses and multi-tenant offices.

VESDA & Aspirating Smoke Detection
In critical environments such as Data Centres, Cold Stores, or High-Bay Warehousing, standard point detection is ineffective. We install VESDA (Very Early Warning Aspirating Smoke Detection) systems. These units actively draw air through a sampling network, detecting microscopic smoke particles minutes before a visible fire occurs, allowing for intervention before suppression systems are triggered.

Building Integration
We treat your fire alarm as part of a holistic building ecosystem. Our engineers integrate fire panels with your Access Control (for automatic door release), HVAC (for plant shutdown), and Security Gates, ensuring a unified safety response during an emergency.

Support That Never Sleeps
For Operations Managers, the fear of a system fault occurring at 4:55 PM on a Friday is real. A beeping panel can demoralize staff and create safety hazards.
Greentech Scotland offers a 24/7 Remote Monitoring & Response Service. We don't just react to calls; we proactively monitor system health. Often, we can identify a dirty sensor or a battery fault remotely before it triggers a false alarm. With a 4-hour emergency response commitment for our contract clients, you have the peace of mind that expert support is always just a phone call away.
Sector-Specific Fire Solutions

Industrial & Warehousing
We utilize Beam Detection and Flame Detectors to cover vast open spaces and high ceilings where standard maintenance access is difficult.

Education & Public Sector
Robust, vandal-resistant systems designed to handle high traffic and reduce the incidence of malicious false alarms in schools and council buildings.

Office & Retail Fit-Out
Aesthetically discreet sensors and wireless fire alarm solutions that preserve the visual integrity of modern workspaces without compromising safety.
Fire Alarm Systems FAQs
What is the difference between Conventional and Addressable fire alarms?
A conventional system identifies a general "zone" (e.g., First Floor) where a fire is detected, which is cost-effective for smaller shops. An Addressable system gives a unique address to every single device, telling you exactly which room or corridor is affected. For most commercial and industrial sites, Greentech Scotland recommends Addressable systems for speed and accuracy.
How often does my commercial fire alarm need servicing?
Under BS 5839-1, your system must be serviced by a competent person at least every six months. However, for larger or high-risk sites, quarterly servicing may be recommended. You are also required to perform a weekly bell test. Greentech Scotland manages this entire schedule for you.
Can you take over the maintenance of a system you didn't install?
Yes. Our engineers are trained on "Open Protocol" systems (such as Hochiki, Apollo, Advanced, and Kentec). We can perform a comprehensive system audit, bring the documentation up to standard, and adopt the system into a Greentech Scotland maintenance plan.
