Welcome to Tees Fire Systems Ltd
Fire Alarm Company
Tees Fire Systems design, supplies, installs, commissions and repairs all types of conventional and analogue addressable fire-alarm systems.
We have a team of fully trained engineers available to commission new systems or repair and maintain existing systems in accordance with local regulations and current British Standards BS 5839 : Part 1 : 2002, and we have 24-hour 365-day call out service.
Accreditation
We are a fully accredited BAFE SP203 Company in the Design,Installation, Commissioning and Maintainance of Fire Systems and is this an Insurance requirement of a number of national companies including Alliance Cornhill, Norwich Union and AXA.
Qualifications
We have a number of qualified in house design engineers, each of whom have attended and passed the BFPSA training course for the 2002 editionof BS5839 : Part 1; standard plus we have control panel and detector manufacturer's technical support behind us.
All our Commissioning and Service Engineers are qualified and have attended all of the recognized manufacturer's courses.
Equipment
We are an independent Fire Company and are not tied to any manufacture, which allows us to source the best equipment currently available.
3-Year Warranty
We can currently offer, subject to the system being maintained by us, a full 3-year warranty on all equipment supplied.
New Installations - Remote Maintenance Facility
We can also offer on new installations a remote maintenance facility that allows engineers to access the control panel of a fire-alarm system to make changes or to correct many problems without leaving our service depot. This is never an alternative to regular no-site maintance. It can prevent unnecessary call-outs and it allows an engineer to make sure that he or she is carrying the correct spares so the problem may be corrected in that single visit.

What Are Protocols?
When referring to electronic products, the term 'protocol' refers to the method that these products communicate with each other. People use 'language' to each other; electronic products have a simplified 'lanuguage'. This lanuguage is termed a 'protocol'. Protocols can be referred to as 'open', 'closed' and 'digital' and 'analogue'. It is important to know what each means when comparing different types of analogue fire dection systems.
Open Protocols
With analogue addressable fire-alarms systems, Tees fire Systems are committed to open- protocol equipment, offering products from different fire manufactures that communicate flawlessly with each other. This offers much greater flexibility and better value-for-money systems. Open-protocols allows independent companies to design despoke systems that can be accessed for service by any bona-fide fire-alarm maintainer. Generallly speaking, open-protocol costs less to maintain, as competition is greater between open-protocol companies.
Closed Protocols
Closed-protocol equipment can limit the End Users choice of fire-alarm maintenance-company. In the main, access to closed-protocol equipment is only permissible to the manufacture's own engineers and closed-protocol equipment spares usually can be purchased only from that single manufacture. This is a hindrance to price-competition on spare parts and on service.
