Human cover while your fire alarm is offline.
Stay operational, stay compliant, stay insured.
What we do
When a fire alarm system is being tested, serviced, upgraded or repaired, the building is effectively unprotected. Our alarm cover teams provide the mandated Waking Watch or L1-equivalent human patrol so you can keep the building occupied without breaching insurance or fire authority conditions.
- Waking Watch trained personnel
- Continuous floor-by-floor patrols
- Direct escalation to fire & rescue
- Fire authority liaison documentation
- Residential blocks & HMOs
- Hotels & student accommodation
- Commercial buildings under refit
- Any premises with system downtime

Our teams are trained to initiate and manage full evacuation should an incident occur while patrolling.
