Protecting buildings.
Protecting people.
Vanguard Fire & Life Safety Solutions is a UK fire detection and life safety company. We design, install, commission and maintain the systems that protect buildings and the people in them, nationwide, to one standard.
Specialists in fire systems and life safety.
Vanguard Fire & Life Safety Solutions is a specialist fire detection and life safety company operating throughout the United Kingdom. We provide the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire alarm, emergency voice communication and associated life safety systems for commercial, residential, public sector and industrial clients.
Our services are delivered end to end by Vanguard's own engineering teams, giving clients full accountability for every stage of a project and a consistent standard across every site, whether a single building or a national estate. All works are carried out in accordance with BS 5839 and the relevant British Standards, with complete certification and documentation issued on completion.
We work with building owners, developers, main contractors, facilities and property management companies, housing providers and public sector organisations, supporting them from initial survey through to long-term maintenance.
The standard is in the detail.
Compliance is the minimum. The quality of a life safety system is determined by the detail: the cause-and-effect schedule, the cable calculations, the labelling and the documentation issued at handover, and by how reliably it performs across its service life.
Our commitments on every project.
Standards
Designed to the standard the building requires
Systems are designed to the category the building requires. Any change to that scope is recorded as a formal variation and agreed in writing.
Documentation
Certification issued on completion
Commissioning certificates, as-fitted drawings and a fully prepared log book are issued at handover, as part of the works.
Live buildings
Delivered around building occupants
Shutdowns, isolations and disruptive works are programmed around building occupants, with the responsible person kept informed throughout.
Vanguard in action.
Nationwide. One standard.
Commercial offices and headquarters, residential and mixed-use schemes, schools and universities, theatres and civic buildings, hotels and leisure, warehousing and logistics, data centres and critical plant.
Whether the requirement is a full installation, a nationwide maintenance contract or commissioning across a rolling programme of sites, the approach, and the documentation, is the same on every site.
More than compliance.
Start with the building.
Whether a single site or a national estate, send us the system type, panel manufacturer and an indication of scale, and the appropriate Vanguard team will respond with a scope and a quotation.
