Fire Safety Training

Access Control provides a secure, flexible, and easily managed way to regulate who can enter your building, helping to address safeguarding and security needs.

As a Gold Approved Paxton Access Control Installer, we can design, install, commission, and maintain a wide range of systems:

• Standalone Access Control – a non-networked system with individual door readers or controllers, programmed locally and accessed via electronic tokens or PINs.

• Networked Access Control – centrally managed from a PC, with IP, wireless, or battery-powered door controllers. Permissions and access schedules can be set for individuals, with additional features like roll calls for fire safety, energy management, and CCTV integration.

• Paxton10 Access Control & Video Management – a cloud-based platform combining access control and video management, offering full control from anywhere. Bluetooth technology allows users to access via the Paxton Key App, providing a future-proof security solution.

Door Entry Systems can operate independently or integrate with Net2 or Paxton10, enabling staff to enter using electronic tags or PINs while allowing you to verify visitors at the main entrance before granting access.

Emergency lighting is legally required for all commercial premises, and the Responsible Person must ensure compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO).

Vanquish Fire can install, service, maintain, and repair emergency lighting to guarantee that exits and escape routes remain fully illuminated during a power failure, ensuring safe evacuation.

Proper emergency lighting also highlights fire safety signs above doors, along escape routes, and near equipment such as manual call points and fire extinguishers, providing clear instructions for use in an emergency.

Vanquish Fire can also supply and install photoluminescent signage that meets current standards, clearly indicating escape routes, fire door requirements, correct use of fire equipment, and other mandatory safety warnings.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all buildings must be equipped with fire extinguishers, as Class A fire risks are typically present in most premises.

Fire extinguishers should be provided to address potential hazards and support safe evacuation, based on the fire risk assessment or guidance from a competent person. Vanquish Fire can supply, install, and maintain all necessary equipment.

Extinguishers come in different types for various fire hazards, including water, CO₂, foam, dry powder, and wet chemical, and all provided by Vanquish Fire comply with BS5306-3:2009 and BS5306-8:2012.

To remain compliant with BS 5306, all extinguishers must be serviced annually. Vanquish Fire offers ongoing maintenance, keeping equipment safe and operational while providing an up-to-date inventory detailing locations, types, and expiry dates.

Customers are also responsible for monthly checks, recording any issues in the site Fire Logbook and reporting them to Vanquish Fire, helping to extend equipment life, maintain safety, and reduce costs.
