Fire alarm compliance in the UK is a legal and insurance requirement for commercial premises, and Touchstar supports businesses in meeting these obligations through certified design, installation, upgrades and ongoing maintenance.
Working to BS 5839 fire alarm standards and supported by accreditations including BAFE, NSI Gold and SafeContractor, our UK-based engineers help ensure fire alarm systems remain compliant, auditable and fit for purpose across offices, warehouses and multi-site estates.

Touchstar designs and installs a full range of conventional and addressable fire alarm systems in the UK, including advanced addressable fire alarm systems that provide precise location data, faster response times and improved system control for complex or multi-storey premises.
Alongside fire alarm systems, we supply and support associated fire safety solutions including fire detectors, emergency lighting and fire extinguishers, as well as voice evacuation systems and integration with wider safety and security infrastructure, helping organisations implement a coordinated and compliant life safety strategy.

Commercial fire alarm installation includes system design, professional installation, commissioning and certification in line with UK fire safety standards. The system is specified to suit the building layout, occupancy and risk profile, ensuring reliable detection and compliance from day one.
Commercial fire alarm systems should be professionally inspected and tested at least every six months in the UK. In addition, weekly user checks are recommended to confirm correct operation and identify faults between service visits.
Fire alarm systems in the UK must comply with BS 5839, which governs their design, installation, commissioning and maintenance. Compliance with BS 5839 supports legal fire safety duties and is commonly required by insurers.
The cost of a commercial fire alarm system depends on building size, system type and installation complexity. Factors such as conventional versus addressable systems, number of detectors and integration requirements all influence overall cost, so a site survey is usually required.
A fire alarm maintenance contract is strongly recommended for commercial premises to support ongoing compliance and system reliability. Regular servicing helps meet BS 5839 requirements, reduces risk and provides documented evidence of due diligence.
