The wrong fire extinguisher can make things worse. 🧯

Not every extinguisher does the same job. Water suits ordinary combustibles like wood and paper but isn’t suitable for electrical fires, where CO2 is the right choice. Foam suits flammable liquids. Powder covers a broader mix of fires, but the fine powder reduces visibility and isn’t pleasant to breathe in, so it needs care indoors.

The right mix depends on what’s actually in your building, which is why a proper fire risk assessment matters more than ticking a box.

We help businesses across Dorset, Hampshire, Devon and Cornwall get the right extinguishers in the right places, correctly labelled and serviced on schedule.

Not sure your current setup covers what it needs to? Get in touch and we’ll take a look.

A long standing client came back for more. 🔑

Store & Secure in Poole is a client we’ve looked after for a long time. We were pleased to be asked to add access control to two more of their doors, and Rhys from our Fire and Security team carried out the work.

The upgrade added magnetic locks to both doors, with touch free exit buttons and emergency door releases to match. It keeps access controlled while letting people move through each door easily.

Good access control isn’t only about keeping people out. It’s about making sure the right people can get in and out of each area quickly and safely, and repeat work like this is the best compliment a client can give us.

Need access control for more of your site? Get in touch and we’ll help you plan it.

Over 40,000 bookings in two months, and nobody had to check them by hand. ♻️

That’s the result of the number plate recognition system we installed across Dorset Council’s household recycling centres. Axis cameras read each registration as vehicles arrive and check it against the council’s booking platform in around five seconds.

Getting the response time down that far took close work with the council’s ICT team. It paid off, as compliance at the booking sites rose from just over half to close to nine in ten over the same period.

Need to manage vehicle access at your site? Get in touch and we’ll design a system around how it really runs.

Some of the most loved places in the South West have one of our fire extinguishers close by. 🔥

From historic landmarks to visitor centres, we supply, install and service fire extinguishers at places people love to visit. It’s a small part of the day out that most visitors never notice, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Whatever the site, the job is the same. The right extinguisher in the right place, ready to use and checked regularly by our team.

Looking after a visitor attraction or heritage site? Get in touch and we’ll help keep your fire safety equipment in top condition.

It started with a cinema room. 🔒

We first visited this home in Dorset as part of a Tech Solutions job, upgrading their cinema room. Once that was done, they asked if we could look after their fire and security systems too.

So our Fire and Security team have now taken over the fire alarm, intruder alarm, CCTV and automated gate access control. We started with a full check of their existing systems, so we know exactly what we're looking after.

Four separate systems, each needing regular attention. Having the same engineers look after all of them means one point of contact, and nothing gets missed.

Being asked to look after the rest says a lot about how the first job went.

Looking for someone to take over the care of your fire and security systems? Get in touch and we'll talk it through.

Over 200 miles from Poole to Liverpool, for one of our clients. 🚐

Most of our work happens across Dorset, Hampshire, Devon and Cornwall. But when a client we already look after needs us further afield, we don't pass them on to someone they've never met. We get in the van and go.

This week Alan headed up to the Lush store in Liverpool city centre to investigate their intruder alarm and other systems, with a view to us taking them over. A proper takeover survey means understanding exactly what's installed, how it's been looked after and what needs attention, so nothing gets missed when the system changes hands. 🔍

It's the same engineers and the same standard of service, wherever your sites happen to be.

Got sites outside the South? Talk to us about looking after all of them. 🔒

Putting a camera on the wall is the easy part. 📷

The install for a CCTV system isn't finished once the cameras are physically up. Every camera then gets properly configured and calibrated, so it's actually covering what it needs to, not just pointing in roughly the right direction.

That means setting the right resolution and video quality for each camera. It means adjusting the pan, tilt and zoom to properly cover entrances, gardens and blind spots. And it means checking the live feed on site, camera by camera, to confirm the coverage is exactly right before the job gets signed off.

It's this last part of the job that makes the difference between a system that technically works and one that actually does what it's there for.

Thinking about CCTV for your own home? Get in touch and we can talk you through it.

There's more to CCTV maintenance than you might think. 📹

James recently carried out CCTV maintenance for PKF Francis in Poole, and it's a good example of what that actually involves.

Every camera gets checked against the back office system to make sure the views haven't drifted or been knocked out of position.

Then there's the physical side. Cleaning each camera itself, since dust and grime on a lens can quietly ruin footage long before anyone notices on screen.

An installed system and a maintained system are not the same thing. Only one of them can actually be relied on when it matters.

Due a maintenance visit on your own system? Get in touch and we'll sort it.

Six flats, one door entry system, built to run smoother and last for years to come. 🔒

We recently replaced the door entry system at a block of flats with a brand new Videx installation. The new setup gives every apartment its own clearly labelled button, plus a dedicated trade button for deliveries and contractors. It's all built around a smoother, more future proofed way in and out of the building.

Behind the panel itself, the new control unit runs off a proper power supply with battery backup, so the system keeps working even during a power cut. Everything is neatly wired and labelled too, ready for whoever needs to service it down the line.

Thinking about upgrading a shared entry system? Get in touch and we can take a look.

One site, three systems, working as one. 🔥

At Andover Enterprise Park we installed a full scope monitored fire alarm, intruder alarm and CCTV system, all managed together rather than as separate boxes bolted on over time. Every device reports back to a single monitored panel, so an issue anywhere on site gets picked up straight away.

We also fitted external sounders in the car park that play automated warning messages the moment the alarm is triggered, giving anyone outside a clear instruction rather than just a noise to react to.

Want a system that actually talks to itself instead of three separate ones? Get in touch.
