Fire detection · UK-wide
Designed, installed and commissioned — by engineers who know the kit inside out.
We design, install and commission fire detection systems for commercial buildings, healthcare, education and industry. As a Gent by Honeywell System Integrator and Platinum Partner, we support projects from the first drawings through to handover. We also supply Gent, Morley-IAS, Xtralis VESDA and FAAST equipment across the UK.

Engineering services
New sites, new builds, new Gent installations.
Most of our day-to-day work is taking on new projects — new builds and major refits where the Gent System Integrator + Platinum Partner badge actually matters. We carry the engineering from design through commissioning and into long-term support.

Technical support
Long-term technical support for the systems we've commissioned — fault-finding, compatibility advice and engineering consult on Gent installations.
Learn more →Planning an upgrade to an existing Gent system?
Existing devices may be suitable for reuse, but the panel name alone is not enough to confirm compatibility. We check the installed devices, controller and loop-card versions before specifying the upgrade. Send the panel details and the full part numbers so we can review what can stay.
EN54-2 / EN54-4
Current platform
Vigilon Plus is the current Gent control panel platform, certified to EN54-2 (control & indicating equipment) and EN54-4 (power supply).
S-Quad / S-Cubed
Device compatibility
S-Quad and S-Cubed compatibility depends on the exact panel, loop card and software versions. Check these together before choosing replacement devices.
CLSS-ready
Cloud-connected
Vigilon Plus is built for Honeywell's Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS) for cloud diagnostics and reporting.
What we work on
Gent panels, detection and alarm devices.
The Gent ecosystem we design around, install and commission for our clients — panel, then field devices, then interfaces and voice. We supply, fit and hand over the lot.
Vigilon Plus
EN54-2 / -4
Current-generation analogue addressable panel
- 4- or 6-loop models; device capacity depends on loop loading
- Networking options depend on the panel and network hardware
- Check existing device and software compatibility before an upgrade
See the model specification and ask us to check the loop loading for your device schedule.

Voice alarm
Plan the message as well as the alarm.
A voice alarm can give spoken instructions during an evacuation. The message, coverage and sequence need to be designed around the building and its evacuation strategy. We can discuss the Honeywell PA/VA equipment for your specification.
Supply & spares
Parts in stock for the work we commission.
We supply Gent, Morley, Xtralis and FAAST parts from our Loughborough trade counter. Send the part number and quantity you need and we will confirm availability with your quote.
Recent work
Three jobs, three outcomes.
14-storey hotel refurbishment — S-Quad refresh on a live Vigilon site.
Phased S-Quad detector replacement across 14 floors without taking the system out of service. The existing Vigilon loop protocol carried the new devices natively — no rewiring needed.
Live site, zero downtime, fully recommissioned in 9 working days.
Care-home fault clearance — three previous suppliers couldn't isolate the root cause.
Recurring loop fault on a 12-year-old Vigilon installation. Loop Explorer diagnostics via direct serial connection identified a single S-Cubed sounder with intermittent isolator failure.
Cleared on the first site visit; written diagnostic report supplied.
Independent school CLSS integration — full design + commission.
Vigilon Plus install across two boarding houses and a sports hall, networked back to the bursar's office via Vigilon repeat panel and brought onto Honeywell CLSS for cloud diagnostics and remote reporting.
Designed, installed and commissioned by our team in 11 working days.
What clients say
Facilities teams, contractors and consultants.
"Proper Gent specialists. They knew the Vigilon loop protocol better than the manufacturer rep who turned up — saved us a week of fault-finding."

"Designed our new Vigilon Plus install and commissioned it without taking the live system offline for a full working day. The handover documentation was the best I've seen on a Gent job."

"They actually answer the phone. And the engineer on the other end has commissioned more Gent panels than I've had hot dinners."

Frequently asked
A few common questions.
Do you design and commission full systems, or just supply parts?
Our core work is design, install and commission of Gent fire detection systems as an approved Gent System Integrator and Platinum Partner. Parts are kept on the shelf to support that work; trade-supply orders from other installers are also welcome.
Are you an authorised Gent System Integrator?
Yes — formally authorised to design, supply, install, commission and hand over Gent fire detection systems. We hold Platinum Partner status, the highest tier of the Gent by Honeywell partner network.
Will Vigilon Plus replace my older Vigilon devices?
Existing devices may be suitable for reuse. We need the exact panel, controller and loop-card software versions, together with the device part numbers, to confirm the upgrade requirements. Start with our Gent replacement enquiry checklist.
What does your design and commissioning process look like?
Specification and cause-and-effect at design stage, on-site install with our own engineers, full commissioning with Gent's diagnostic tooling, and documented handover. Lifecycle support continues after handover for fault-finding and panel upgrades.
