Ranked 7 of 10 in Fire alarm installers in Telford

Best for: fire alarms for schools, care homes and businesses

Active

Trading as ABC FIRE & SECURITY LTD. · Telford · Service area: Telford

A B C Fire & Security in short

A B C Fire & Security is a Hadley firm installing and maintaining conventional, addressable and networked fire-alarm systems alongside suppression and emergency lighting [1]. Our view is that A B C Fire & Security suits schools, care homes and commercial sites wanting a long-established fire practice.

Customer reviews are solid, with 4.4 on Google from 8 reviews — the headline figure on this review — and BAFE accreditation with SSAIB membership stated on the site [5] [1].

Companies House shows the firm active since 1998, with the BAFE and SSAIB credentials repeated on its trade-association page, the latter held since 2002 [3] [1] [4]. What counts against it is the absence of published insurance or pricing and a thin single-style site naming no service-area towns [1] [2].
