While putting up battery-operated smoke alarms at home is simple enough, commercial premises are a completely different story. Even if you have the technical know-how, it's generally not recommended to self-install a commercial fire alarm system. These systems are often complex, with diverse designs, and they absolutely must be fail-safe.
Most importantly, to meet legal and safety requirements, your fire alarm system must strictly comply with British Standards, specifically BS 5839-1. This standard provides detailed guidelines for every stage of a fire alarm system's life, from its design and installation to commissioning and ongoing maintenance.
