Professional wireless fire alarms across Peterborough

Peterborough is a rapidly growing city with a strong manufacturing and logistics base, plus significant new housing and commercial development. We work across the city from the historic centre to modern business parks, Hampton township, and distribution hubs on the eastern side of the city.

Peterborough's economy is dominated by logistics and manufacturing along the A1 and A47 corridors, with significant new-build housing across Hampton, Stanground, and the rest of the city's growth fringe. Distribution sheds and HMO-converted Victorian terraces sit at opposite ends of our typical workload.

Regulatory note

Peterborough City Council operates additional HMO licensing across most of the city centre, and the East of England Showground frequently hosts high-profile events that require temporary monitored security uplifts.
