Fire Detection Systems

Independent expertise. Specialist design. Trusted protection.

Fire detection systems play a critical role in protecting life and property by providing early warning of fire, enabling safe evacuation and timely emergency response. At Lil Fire, we deliver specialist fire detection system services that combine technical leadership, practical experience, and modern digital delivery.

Our approach ensures fire detection solutions are correctly specified, compliant, and fully integrated with the wider fire alarm and life safety strategy. We support projects from early strategy through to detailed design, coordination, and construction support.

Management

Lil Fire provides technical management and oversight to support the successful delivery of fire detection systems throughout the project lifecycle. We work closely with clients, design teams, approving authorities, and contractors to ensure detection and alarm requirements are clearly defined, coordinated, and effectively managed.

Our involvement typically includes oversight of detection strategy, review of technical proposals, coordination of design responsibilities, and support during installation, commissioning, and handover. This structured approach helps reduce risk, avoid late stage changes, and ensure systems perform as intended.

Design

Our fire detection design services support both new build and existing buildings and range from early concept development through to detailed coordinated design. We focus on developing fire detection solutions that provide appropriate coverage, response, and resilience for the specific occupancy and risk profile.

Design development considers detector type and selection, zoning, alarm cause and effect, audibility and visual warning requirements, and system resilience. Our designers work using Autodesk Revit, producing coordinated 3D BIM models that support spatial coordination and clear integration with other building services.

Digital delivery supports early identification of coordination issues and improves the efficiency and reliability of system installation.

Consultancy

Lil Fire provides independent fire detection system consultancy to support informed decision making and technical assurance. We advise on system selection, feasibility, compliance, and integration with wider life safety measures.

Our consultancy services are often used on projects involving complex layouts, multiple occupancies, enhanced life safety requirements, or insurer driven criteria. We provide clear, practical advice that balances life safety, compliance, constructability, and commercial considerations.
