Provide the agreed records, explain any outstanding actions and discuss ongoing care.
04 / BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE
A few useful answers.
Can you help with an existing fire alarm system?
Send us the panel make and model, the site location and a brief description of the work. We’ll confirm whether ESS can support the system and whether a survey or further information is needed.
Is a wireless system right for our building?
It may be suitable, but that needs to be established from the building, design requirements, radio coverage and system compatibility. We’ll discuss the assessment needed before proposing a solution.
What do your BAFE and NSI certificates cover?
The supplied BAFE SP203-1 and NSI Fire Silver certificates set out ESS’s fire detection and alarm system scope. View the certificates and scope ↗. We’ll agree the specific activities and deliverables for your project.
Where do you work?
ESS is based in Sheffield, supporting South Yorkshire and beyond. Tell us your site location and the work required so we can confirm availability and the practical arrangements.
