Client: Residential Care Home

The Challenge

Maintaining a reliable fire alarm system is critical in care home environments, where the safety of vulnerable residents is paramount. The existing fire alarm system at this care home had failed, leaving the property at risk and creating an urgent need for a replacement. The client required a system that could be installed quickly, comply with all relevant safety standards, and provide full coverage without causing disruption to residents or staff.

Our Solution

Shebang Security designed and installed a fully wireless fire alarm system compliant with BS5839 and EN54 standards, ensuring the property met the latest safety regulations. The wireless design allowed for rapid deployment without extensive wiring, making it ideal for a working care home where minimal disruption was essential.

The system included smoke detectors, heat sensors, and manual call points, all networked to a central control panel. Advanced monitoring features ensured that any alarm activation would be immediately communicated to the relevant staff, enabling swift response. Wireless I/O units where utilised to intergrade into the exsting fire door closers.

Installation & Commissioning

Given the urgent nature of the project, our team worked efficiently to remove the failed system and install the new wireless solution within a tight timeframe. The installation was carefully planned to minimise disruption to residents, with all areas tested to ensure correct operation.

Once installed, the system was fully commissioned, and staff were provided with training on operation, maintenance, and emergency procedures. Documentation confirming compliance with BS5839 and EN54 standards was provided to satisfy regulatory and insurance requirements.

Results & Benefits

The new wireless fire alarm system immediately restored safety and compliance to the care home. The wireless design allowed flexible sensor placement, ensuring complete coverage of all areas, while staff gained confidence in the reliability of the system. Rapid installation meant there was minimal downtime, and residents were protected throughout the process.

The care home now benefits from a modern, fully compliant fire alarm system that meets safety regulations, provides early warning of any incidents, and ensures the protection of both residents and staff..
