With over 65 years of experience and BAFE SP203-1 accreditation, we ensure every system we deliver meets the highest standards of reliability, compliance, and performance.
Comprehensive Fire Alarm Solutions
Whether you manage a single premises or multiple sites, our expert engineers provide a complete, end-to-end service — from initial design and system installation to ongoing maintenance and testing.
Our fire alarm systems include:
Addressable Fire Alarms – Ideal for larger or complex buildings, allowing precise location of fire incidents.

Protect What Matters Most
From initial consultation to ongoing support, OHEAP Fire & Security delivers professional, compliant, and fully managed fire alarm solutions you can rely on.
At OHEAP we strive to provide everything you need to protect against the risk of fire. Whether you need a fire risk assessment, your fire extinguishers annually serviced or a new fire detection system installed, we are here to help you stay safe.
Fire Extinguisher Servicing
This ensures that a unit is fully compliant with the certification issued. Every fifth year on wet and powder units an extended service is carried out at site. The internal inspection can be done once emptied and a new extinguishant medium is used to refill these units, if compliant, they are then put back into service
Fire Extinguisher Servicing
Within the legislation that covers fire risk assessments, (Health and Safety at Work) there is a requirement for all types of extinguishers to be serviced, annually. OHEAP Fire and Security are specialists in maintaining all types of fire equipment, working with qualified, certificated technicians and within the British Standards 5306 parts 3, 8 and 9.
Fire Extinguishers
We are one of the very few fire extinguisher servicing companies in the UK that carry out a discharge test at 5 years. Whilst most servicing companies will simply scrap and replace all fire extinguishers at 5 years old, OHEAP will discharge them. They are then inspected for corrosion or erosion, refilled and commissioned for use for a further 12 months.
This process not only saves you money but reduces your carbon footprint as waste is reduced and you can feel 100% assured your extinguishers are all in good working order, with minimal waste.
All fire extinguishers supplied by us are British Standard Kite Marked to ensure quality and come with a 10-year guarantee as part of OHEAP Fire & Security’s maintenance services.
Fire Extinguishers & Accessories
Over the last 50 years, we’ve worked with the best manufacturers of fire extinguishers across the world, creating a range of top-quality products that will work when you need them most. We’re so confident in our range that we offer a 10-year guarantee.
Commissioning & Installation
Under British Standard BS 5306-3:2017 all new extinguishers are required to be commissioned by a competent person.This requires an individual with extensive knowledge and certification from the British Standards, to unpack, assemble and carry out a service, this is called a commission service. It is carried out on each new extinguisher, the purpose is to inspect each extinguisher and undertake a series of checks to ensure it is in good working order, then to label the unit and certificate as correct.
Fire Risk Assessment
At OHEAP Fire & Security, we provide comprehensive Fire Risk Assessments to businesses and individuals, helping them to take the appropriate steps to prevent fires and injuries.
With an OHEAP Fire Risk Assessment, you’ll know exactly what your fire risks are and how to manage them.
Fire Risk Assessments
Fire risk assessments identify and assess the potential risks that may arise within your building. Helping you to identify areas in which your policies and procedures may need improvement. Additionally, we can identify any fire safety precautions you should be following to keep visitors and employees safe.
How Often Should A Fire Risk Assessment Be Reviewed?
Fire risk assessments are a legal requirement and should be reviewed annually. In addition, The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, requires a fire risk assessment to be reviewed if there are changes in the business. For example structural alterations, change of building use and increase in occupancy. For this reason a new fire risk assessment should be completed.
If you’re in need of an updated fire assessment or aren’t sure whether you are, get in touch. After that one of our Fire Protection Consultants can answer all of your questions.
Fire Door Systems
A fire door is a door that is specifically designed to slow the spread of fire through a building. It does this by delaying the passage of fire, heat, and smoke from one part of the building to another.
The door leaf and door frame must both meet regulations set by a governing body e.g. The British Woodworking Federation (BWF). Fire doors are able to keep flames at bay for at least half an hour.
FD30 − 30 minutes of fire protection
FD60 − 60 minutes of fire protection
FD90 − 90 minutes of fire protection
FD120 − 120 minutes of fire protection
Fire Door Surveys
Our team will carry out thorough inspections, where we will identify any issues with the door leaf, door frame, furniture, and surrounding elements.
Fire Door Repairs
After we’ve carried out our inspection, we will give you a complete, no-obligation, report of our findings with a breakdown of what needs to be done. If you are happy to proceed we will then carry out any repairs or replacements all of which will comply with appropriate British and International Standards.
Fire Door Installation
We can supply brand new BWF-certified fire doors in a range of sizes, styles, and finishes to suit your property and our certified Fire Door Engineers at OHEAP can also install these throughout your property.
We can also supply fire door hardware. From door handles to door closers, we can advise and supply the best accessories and hardware to ensure your doors are usable and compliant.

Access Control Systems
Commercial Access Control
Access control is a system that allows you to manage who can get into certain areas of your property. This type of security system uses various types of identification tools and methods to allow access to a specific area.
These types of systems can allow you to control access to, and protect, physical and digital assets, such as your office building, computer or online accounts. It also protects data, software and hardware.
Biometrics and Barriers
Different types of access control systems include:
Biometrics: Identify users based on unique biological characteristics such as fingerprints and retina scans.
Barriers: Physical barriers that prevent unauthorised entry into a defined space by controlling entry points (e.g., turnstiles) or restricting areas with fences or walls that are difficult for unauthorised persons to climb over or break through; sometimes called “containment.”

The embroidery process is simple:
Protective Workwear
Hazardous Environments
If you work in a hazardous profession, it is important to have PPE or protective workwear to prevent injuries as a result of accidents. In construction, manufacturing and physical labour industries, the risk of injury is heightened, therefore the need for protective clothing is greater.
High Visibility Clothing
First invented in the 1930s and typically worn on the torso or arms, high visibility clothing is utilised in almost every industry. Often fluorescent or reflective, this material is designed to increase a person’s visibility in low light, low visibility or hazardous conditions.
Its ability to suit a multitude of industries has made high visibility extremely recognisable. Predominantly manufactured using fluorescent bright colours (orange or yellow), these garments are easily identifiable during the day. The reflective element of high-visibility clothing allows the garment to reflect light back to its source. This means that if a car’s headlights hit you, you will be much more visible to the driver.
Fire Retardant Workwear
Working with open flames, molten metals or extreme heat can cause devastating skin burns.
At OHEAP, we offer a wide range of flame retardant workwear that meets or exceeds all of the requirements set out by the EN ISO 11612 standard.
Our FR clothing possesses the ability to withstand ignition or self-extinguish once set alight. Often manufactured using natural resources such as wool or cotton, many of our garments are inherently fire retardant meaning they will withstand multiple washes.
Safety Footwear
At OHEAP Fire & Security we have a range of safety footwear available including safety shoes, safety boots, rigger boots, wellingtons, waders, footwear accessories, disposable overshoes and socks.
Safety Is A Priority
Safety is a priority for workers in many industries and if you want to stay safe on the job, then a pair of safety shoes are an absolute must. With so many different types of safety footwear available it can be hard to know which ones offer the best protection.
The right kind of footwear can protect against serious injuries such as broken bones and torn ligaments caused by impact or penetration.
Safety Footwear Standards
The safety footwear standard is referred to as EN ISO 20345. The EN ISO 20345 standard sets out the minimum requirements that safety footwear must be successfully tested against.
First Aid Equipment
Based on the first aid needs assessment it is important for you to consider the different types of hazards in each of your workplace locations and ensure they are catered for with appropriate first aid kit supplies.
What Is The Health and Safety Regulations 1981 Act?
The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces including those with less than five employees and to the self-employed.
Dry Riser Systems
A dry riser is a crucial fire safety system made of pipes and valves, designed to deliver water to multiple floors during a fire. Unlike wet risers, which are always filled with water, dry risers stay empty until firefighters connect them to a water source, making them ideal for high-rise buildings where quick water access from the ground is challenging.
Fire Hydrants
A fire hydrant provides essential water access for firefighters during emergencies and can be located underground or as an above-ground pillar. To support effective firefighting, hydrants must be unobstructed, well-maintained, and regularly flow-tested, making them a key part of public fire safety systems.
