Fire safety systems

Designed, built, and maintained for complex, high-risk environments.

Fire safety in complex buildings, including hospitals, is about navigating evolving regulations, managing risk, and having confidence that your system will perform when it needs to.

Trusted to protect complex, high-risk environments

We design, install, and maintain fire systems across 70+ complex sites, protecting highly regulated, complex environments such as hopsitals and custodial facilities.

These are buildings where evacuation strategies are intricate, compliance is critical, and failure is not an option.

The plan for compliant fire protection

Book an initial review

01

Assess the environment

We’ll review building layouts, evacuation requirements, operational constraints, and current fire legislation and guidance to ensure the system is aligned with regulatory expectations.

02

Design and plan the system

Our Fire Safety experts will specify appropriate detection placement, devices, and control strategies suited to the building and its use.

03

Install and support

Our qualified engineers install with minimal disruption, maintain safety throughout upgrades, and provide ongoing service and maintenance.

A fire safety system you can stand behind

A compliant Fire Safety system designed specifically for complex environments, giving confidence that protection is in place.

Safety maintained during change

Installation and upgrades carried out without leaving buildings exposed, so protection remains in place throughout.

Performance you can trust every day

A system that activates when it should and stays quiet when it should, reducing false alarms while ensuring real incidents are detected, escalated, and managed correctly.

Hear from our fire safety experts

Behind every system we design and every project we deliver are the people who make it happen.

Our teams bring together over 40 years of experience, technical expertise, and a shared commitment to supporting safer and more effective care.

“In my role as Senior Project Engineer at SSG, I work across the design, delivery, and coordination of fire protection systems in complex, high-risk environments where performance and compliance are absolutely critical. I bring many years of experience in multidisciplinary project delivery, supported by continuous professional development and close engagement with evolving fire regulations, standards, and industry guidance. Clients can trust SSG because we combine rigorous technical assurance, transparent communication, and a collaborative approach, ensuring every system is robust, compliant, and tailored to the specific risks of their environment.”

Mark Bust
Senior Project Engineer

“I’m currently working on Fire System compliance and risk management. Having previously worked as a Tier 1 Project Director, my role was to ensure that SSG more readily understood the scope and complexities of the design and implementation of fire detection and alarm systems in major healthcare projects. This was necessitated by the new regulations both in British standards and HTM guidance requiring that SSG adjusted its role from a pure subcontractor into a more partnering specialist for our clients. My passion is helping our clients to negotiate the minefields of updating fire systems within a live hospital with minimal, if any clinical impact.”

Andrew Mitchell
Risk Specialist

“I have been part of SSG since 2009, beginning with a 4-year apprenticeship before developing my career across commissioning, site-based fire alarm engineering, and most recently project engineering and management. This end-to-end experience gives me a broad understanding of fire systems from early design through to delivery and handover. Much of my work has been in healthcare and custodial environments, where systems must be dependable, compliant, and fit for purpose. I take pride in delivering fire solutions that meet the highest standards, giving clients full confidence in the systems they receive.”

Michael Westwood
Project Engineer

“I have worked in the fire industry for over 40 years, including as a Project Manager for SSG delivering site-wide fire alarm installations across major schemes, including three large PFI hospital projects. I recently completed FIA Level 3 BS5839 training to reinforce that commitment. Safety is paramount. In healthcare environments, fire alarm systems must protect staff, patients, and the public while meeting strict British Standards and HTM guidance. Every system we deliver is carefully specified, installed, and certified under the LPS1014 scheme to ensure compliance and give clients confidence that their fire protection is in safe, experienced hands.”
