Our fire alarm installation services in Southend are delivered by FIA-trained and approved engineers, with all systems installed to complying with leading industry standards.

Prior to any fire alarm installation, we carry out a detailed assessment of your building to design and install a system that suits your layout and level of risk, ensuring effective detection and reliable performance.
We also provide ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and fire alarm repair services. Regular testing and servicing are essential to ensure your system remains operational and compliant.
The British Standard for fire alarm systems in non-domestic properties, BS5839-1, states that manual call points should be tested weekly by the occupier and that professional maintenance checks should be carried out at least twice a year by competent persons. Our maintenance services help you meet these obligations while keeping your system in safe working order.
CCTV Installation in Southend on Sea
Our CCTV installation services in Southend-on-Sea provide clear, reliable surveillance tailored to your security needs. We install modern HD CCTV systems that deliver high-quality footage and proactive protection for homes, businesses, and public buildings.
Live video feeds can be accessed remotely via smartphone, tablet, or computer. This allows you to monitor your property in real time, respond quickly to incidents, and maintain peace of mind wherever you are.
The visible presence alone of CCTV cameras acts as a strong deterrent to criminal activity, including theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access. Properties with clearly installed surveillance systems are far less likely to be targeted, reducing overall security risks.
At Assured Fire & Security, we offer full CCTV consultation, installation, and ongoing support. Our team assesses your premises, identifies vulnerable areas, and recommends the most suitable camera placement and system type for effective coverage.
