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].

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.
