Professional wireless fire alarms across Letchworth

Letchworth Garden City is the world's first garden city, with a unique mix of heritage commercial buildings, modern business parks, and educational establishments. We regularly work across Letchworth and nearby Baldock, providing solutions suited to both modern and period buildings.

Letchworth's Heritage Foundation manages a stock of architecturally protected buildings — including the Spirella Building and Broadway Studios — alongside modern industrial units at Letchworth Gate. The split means we move between conservation-grade installations and standard commercial fit-outs depending on the address.

Letchworth's protected stock — including the Spirella and Broadway Cinema — typically rules out hardwired fire alarms; we spec Hochiki ESP wireless systems that meet BS 5839-1 without surface cabling.

Whether you need a new wireless fire alarms installation, a system upgrade, or ongoing servicing and maintenance, our SSAIB-certified engineers are ready to help across Letchworth and the wider Hertfordshire area.

Local context — wireless fire alarms in Letchworth

Letchworth's Heritage Foundation manages a stock of architecturally protected buildings — including the Spirella Building and Broadway Studios — alongside modern industrial units at Letchworth Gate. The split means we move between conservation-grade installations and standard commercial fit-outs depending on the address.

Regulatory note

The Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation's design code restricts external alterations on protected buildings, so external CCTV and signage placement requires Foundation sign-off in addition to standard planning consent.

Frequently asked questions about wireless fire alarms in Letchworth
