We manage, service and maintain a range of fire protection and life safety systems
We manage, service and maintain a range of fire protection and life safety systems for Howdens Joinery, at two of their purpose-built distribution centres near Raunds in Northamtonshire. The two new units, known as Units 2 and 3, were built to expand Howden’s existing onsite warehouse space. Our role includes managing, servicing and maintaining the sites’ estate-wide Honeywell Gent fire alarm system, disabled refuge, disabled toilets, fixed fire extinguishers and room integrity testing. Howdens use gas fire protection systems to protect their distribution centres in the event of a fire, as water could damage the vast range of joinery items stored there. We carry out annual room integrity testing as part of managing, servicing and maintaining Howden’s fire protection system, to make sure gas doesn’t leak out of the room when it’s needed to put out a fire. Our multi-skilled engineers are specially trained to work in high occupancy spaces including active warehouses and to carry out dynamic risk assessments when needed. Enabling us to provide Howdens with a cost-effective solution from a single source, tailored to meet the specific needs of their sites.
