Ranked 5 of 10 in Fire alarm installers in Telford

Best for: sprinkler servicing with published hourly rates

Active

Trading as SLC FIRE SERVICES LTD · Telford · Service area: Telford

SLC Fire Services in short

SLC Fire Services is a Hadley sprinkler specialist servicing and testing sprinkler, hydrant, hose-reel and riser systems [2]. Our view is that SLC Fire Services is the pick for sprinkler work from a Telford firm with open pricing — the only one here to publish an hourly schedule of rates [3].

Customer reviews are unblemished, with full marks on Google from 5 reviews — the headline figure on this review — and LPCB module certification stated on the services page [6] [2]. The company record runs back to 2018 [5]. The review base is small, with Google the only source held, so the headline figure is thin backing next to the published rates. Our view is that the open pricing does more than the stars to separate this firm from the round.

The record shows a Hadley specialist in sprinkler, hydrant, hose-reel and riser servicing and testing, stating LPCB module certification on its services page [2]. There is no wider service-area list on the site and no alarm-detection offering anywhere on the record [1] [2]. Contact runs through phone and a quote form beside the published schedule of rates, with free quotations on offer [1] [3].

What counts against it for this ranking is the absence of any alarm-installation offering and of published insurance detail [2] [1]. Sprinkler servicing is its trade; fire detection is not on the record.

Questions about SLC Fire Services

Is SLC Fire Services any good?

On the evidence, yes for sprinklers: it sits fifth in our Telford fire alarm installer table, holds full marks on Google from 5 reviews, and publishes an hourly schedule of rates few rivals match [6] [3]. It fits no alarm detection. Send your system details for a free quotation.

Is SLC Fire Services LPCB certificated?

LPCB Modules 1 and 2 certification is stated on the firm’s own services page, covering sprinkler servicing and testing [2]. That is the firm’s own statement rather than a register entry we opened, so ask for the certificate details. Get the certification position confirmed in writing before work starts.

What does SLC Fire Services charge?

It publishes a schedule of rates with weekday, night and weekend hourly rates, call-out fees and test prices, and offers free quotations [3]. That makes it the most transparent firm in this round on price. Send the system details and ask for a fixed quote confirmed in writing.

Where does SLC Fire Services work?

The firm works from Hadley in Telford and can be reached by phone and quote form [1]. The quote form sits alongside the published schedule of rates [3]. No wider service-area list is published on the site. Send your postcode with the job details to confirm you are covered.

How is SLC Fire Services ranked?

It ranks fifth of the ten fire alarm installers in our September round, carried by its customer record, open pricing and sprinkler specialism. We looked first at what customers say. Read the full review, then ask for the fixed quote.

How do I get a quote from SLC Fire Services?

Use the phone or the quote form with the system details, drawing on the published schedule of rates for a sense of hourly charges and call-out fees [1] [3]. Quotations are free, so describe the sprinklers, hydrants or risers and ask for the fixed quote confirmed in writing. Send the postcode with the enquiry, since no wider service-area list is published [1].

What do customers say about SLC Fire Services?

Google shows full marks from 5 reviews, seen in early September, with no other source held [6]. That is a clean but narrow record, so treat it as a hint rather than proof. The published rates and the company record back to 2018 say more about how this firm works than a handful of reviews can [3] [5].

How does SLC Fire Services compare with the others in this round?

Fifth place reflects open pricing and a clean record in a table of alarm sellers. Every firm around it sells alarms or security rather than suppression, so direct comparison turns on trade rather than rank. Our view is that SLC is unopposed for sprinkler servicing here and beside the point for detection.
