A fire alarm system is only as good as its design, installation and ongoing maintenance.
The initial site survey and quotation are free of charge. Detailed system design, engineering and installation are quoted separately once we understand what your building needs.
A fire alarm system exists to give people early warning and time to act, and to help protect your building and business when something goes wrong. A system that hasn't been properly specified, or that's fallen behind on maintenance, may not perform the way you're relying on it to.
Owlsight Fire & Security Ltd designs, installs, commissions and maintains fire detection and alarm systems in accordance with the relevant requirements of BS 5839, with solutions tailored to how each building is actually used — rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Whether you're fitting out a new commercial premises, replacing an ageing system, extending an existing installation or upgrading a system to meet current requirements, we can provide a complete service from initial site assessment through to installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance.
Our engineers install both addressable and conventional fire alarm systems, with detector types, panel specification and cause-and-effect programming designed around the requirements of the premises — covering commercial units, offices, retail premises, HMOs and residential blocks across Southampton and Hampshire.
Older systems don't always need replacing outright. In many cases, an existing fire alarm can be extended, upgraded or brought in line with current requirements as a building changes or grows, subject to site assessment and system requirements.
Where a fault is identified — whether during a routine visit or reported by you directly — our engineers carry out fire alarm fault finding and remedial works to get the system back to full working order, with the cause and the fix recorded in the system log.
Regular servicing is what keeps a fire alarm system dependable over time. Under BS 5839, most commercial systems are serviced at least every six months by a competent engineer, with simple weekly test calls carried out in-house in between — the exact schedule depends on your system type and building use.
Every visit is logged, giving you a maintenance record and documentation to support your insurer, landlord or fire risk assessor. If a fault arises between scheduled visits, our team provides emergency callout and fault response to get things working again as quickly as possible.
Our aim is simple: to provide reliable fire alarm systems that are properly installed, maintained and supported by the appropriate documentation.
Southampton and Hampshire based, so response times and site knowledge are local — not a national call centre.
Clean first-fix and re-fit work, planned around your operating hours where possible.
You'll receive appropriate documentation and a maintenance log to support your insurer or fire risk assessment.

Yes. We regularly take on maintenance for existing fire alarm panels installed by other companies. We'll carry out a site assessment first to check the system's condition before taking on the maintenance.
It depends on your fire risk assessment and how the building is used. We're happy to advise during a free site survey, and can point you towards a fire risk assessor if you don't currently have a fire risk assessment in place.
