If your building is still paying for a waking watch, this is worth five minutes.

On 30 September the Welsh Government opened the Wales Interim Measures Alarm Grant (WIMAG). It funds common fire alarm systems in residential buildings that need interim fire safety measures while remediation goes ahead, so blocks can stop relying on waking watch.

Who it's for:

- Buildings in Wales that are 11 metres or taller, multi-occupied and residential
- A current FRA or FRAEW, or a regulator's notice, showing interim measures are needed
- Applications from building owners, housing associations, local authorities or authorised managing agents (not individual leaseholders)

What it covers: alarm equipment, detection, control panels, wiring, installation and commissioning. Systems should normally meet BS 5839-1 Category L5, unless your fire risk assessor advises otherwise, and must be installed by a third-party accredited company.

Already installed one? Systems started or completed between 1 September 2021 and 30 September 2026 can be considered for retrospective funding.

Planning one? Apply first. The grant is paid once the system is commissioned, and installs started from 1 October without approval are only considered in exceptional cases. The application also asks for three quotes where possible, and we're happy to provide one.

We're currently delivering fire sprinklers and fire doors across three apartment blocks in Cardiff, so we know how interim measures and remediation have to fit together on a live building.

If you're responsible for a building in Wales, call us on 0800 4582757 or send us a message. We'll look at what's in place now and help you work out whether WIMAG applies.

Fire doors aren’t just another item on a compliance checklist.

They’re there to protect escape routes, contain fire and smoke, and buy people valuable time in an emergency.

That’s why the condition, installation and ongoing inspection of every fire door matters.

Our team works across commercial, healthcare, education and residential environments, carrying out fire door inspections, remedial works and new installations to help clients stay compliant and, more importantly, keep buildings safer.

From damaged seals and incorrect gaps to doors that simply aren’t performing as they should, the smaller details can make a big difference.

If you’re unsure when your fire doors were last inspected, it may be time to take a closer look.

Projects of scale require more than the ability to install and remediate fire doors. They require experience, consistency and confidence that the work will be delivered properly from start to finish.

Our team was trusted to carry out the fire door programme at Sisters of Nazareth in Finchley because of our experience delivering complex fire protection works across a wide range of buildings and environments.

That experience meant we could manage a programme involving 208 fire door remediations and 51 new fire door sets, while maintaining quality and accountability throughout.

Working under the BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme, our focus was exactly what it always is: careful workmanship, traceability and delivering the right solution for the building.

For us, winning work like this comes down to one thing … proving, project after project, that clients can trust us to deliver.

PROJECT COMPLETED | SISTERS OF NAZARETH, FINCHLEY

A substantial fire door remediation and replacement programme completed by Concept Fire Protection at the Sisters of Nazareth premises in Finchley, London.

Our team carried out remedial works to 208 existing fire doors, alongside the installation of 51 new fire door sets, with all works undertaken under the BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme for fire door installation and maintenance.

To complete the project, we also installed this impressive 5-metre oak door set and screens, bringing together fire safety, quality workmanship and a finish in keeping with the building.

Across the programme, works were completed to 259 fire doors and door sets, helping support the ongoing fire safety management of the premises.

Another large-scale project successfully delivered by Concept Fire Protection.

Your alarm goes off at 2am. Will the police come? Not necessarily.

Police in England and Wales only respond to monitored alarms that meet national police (NPCC) standards. That means:

🔑 It needs a URN – a Unique Reference Number issued by the police

🏅 The installer must be approved – URNs are only issued for systems installed by companies certified by a UKAS-accredited body, such as SSAIB or NSI

⚠️ False alarms count – three false calls in a rolling 12 months and police response is withdrawn, leaving it to your keyholders

A cheap alarm that isn’t properly installed, or one that keeps going off for no reason, could leave your business without police cover when it matters…

We’re SSAIB-registered, so our systems can qualify for police response.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales has a new building safety law – here’s what you need to know.

The Building Safety (Wales) Act 2026 became law this spring, and it’s being described as going further than anything elsewhere in the UK.

What’s changing:
✅ It covers shared residential buildings of any height – not just high-rises
✅ Fire risk assessments must be carried out by a competent person, with criminal penalties for not complying
✅ Clear legal responsibility for whoever manages the building – no more grey areas about who’s accountable
✅ Fire risk assessments will need reviewing at least every 12 months

The duties are being phased in, so now is the time to get ahead – not catch up.

If you manage, own or let flats, HMOs or other shared buildings in Wales, your fire alarms, emergency lighting and safety systems will be under closer scrutiny than ever.

A huge congratulations to James! 🎉

James, our Fire & Security Engineering Supervisor, has recently passed both the Level 3 BAFE course and SSSTS (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme). 👏

That’s a lot of hard work on top of a busy day job. It means even more expertise in fire safety, and even safer, better-run sites for our customers.

As a family-run business, we’re always proud to see our team grow. Well done, James – we’re so proud of you.

The best time to plan a CCTV system is while a property is still taking shape.

On a new development in Cowbridge, we’ve completed the first-fix infrastructure for an IP CCTV system.

It’s the stage that prepares the property for the equipment and final installation to follow.

For developers, involving the security team early means the system can be planned alongside the rest of the build.

Working on a new property in South Wales?

Talk to us while plans are still in progress. 🤝
