Fire Alarm Servicing for Restaurants and Cafes
Kitchens, a dining room and late closing hours make fire alarm setup a premises specific question. FirePulse provides the monitored alarm, servicing and certification under one monthly contract, specified from a survey of the actual premises.
What makes a restaurant different
A kitchen is a working environment with heat and steam, so detection in and around it is specified carefully rather than assumed. That is survey work, not a template.
Closing hours are late and the premises is then empty, which is exactly when an alarm that only sounds locally does least.
Service times mean the window for works is narrow, so an installation measured in days is a serious problem.
Areas the survey looks at
Kitchen
Heat and steam make detection type and placement a survey decision.
Dining room
An occupied public area where the alarm must be clearly audible.
Stores and cellar
Back of house areas with their own considerations.
Late closure
Empty overnight hours where a monitored alarm matters.
Records and inspections
Fire alarm records and certification are commonly requested from food businesses by insurers and landlords.
Keeping servicing and certification with one supplier makes that a straightforward request to answer.

Can installation happen outside service hours?
Tell us your service times and we will work to them. Where the approved FirePulse installation applies, the work is completed in one working day.
How is kitchen detection handled?
Detection type and placement in and around a kitchen are decided by the survey rather than stated in advance from a web page.
Is the alarm monitored after closing?
FirePulse includes a monitored fire alarm, so an activation is signalled rather than left sounding in an empty premises.
What does it cost per month?
It depends on the premises and the system it needs. You get the figure in writing after the survey.
