Commercial refurbishments and fit-outs in Gloucestershire present an ideal opportunity to review and upgrade fire and security systems. Whether you are refitting a single office floor or undertaking a complete building refurbishment, integrating fire and security into the project plan ensures compliance, reduces costs, and avoids retrofitting.
Why Refits Are the Right Time
- Cable routes are accessible during construction — first fix installation is far cheaper than retrofit
- Building regulations require updated fire safety provisions for significant refurbishments
- The fire risk assessment must be reviewed when the building use or layout changes
- Insurance requirements may change with the new use of the premises
- New tenants may have specific security requirements
Systems to Consider During a Refit
- Fire detection and alarm to the appropriate BS 5839 category for the new layout
- Emergency lighting to BS 5266 covering new escape routes
- CCTV covering new areas and reflecting changed risk profiles
- Access control for new partition layouts and tenant boundaries
- Intruder alarms reconfigured for the new floor plan
