In the event of a fire or power outage, emergency lighting ensures that lighting is provided promptly, automatically and in the most appropriate locations, making sure people can evacuate your buildings quickly and safely. It is a legal requirement that non-domestic buildings must be safe at all times, even if a mains power failure occurs. Emergency lighting is a vital safety precaution for people moving about and exiting your premises. Most new buildings have emergency lighting installed during construction and Wessex frequently work with surveyors and architects at the planning stage to advise on and supply the appropriate system.
You are twice as likely to die in a house fire that has no smoke alarm than a house that does. Installing and maintaining the right smoke alarm will alert you and your family to the presence of fire or smoke in your home and give you ample time to escape. There is a wide range of fire alarms on the market, and the choice can be overwhelming. Battery or mains, smoke or heat, and where to locate? There are so many options. As independent specialists, Wessex will give you objective advice on how best to protect your family, home and possessions against the destructive power of fire and smoke.
Commonly used to access communal areas of residential apartment blocks, company offices and production areas, door entry systems are a simple and effective way to manage who has direct access to your property. Specific door entry systems allow you to take a tighter control of access to your business or property, and even create a visual record of movements in and out of your property. The entryway into your business is a prime source of vulnerability, and specifically protecting this is a primary concern for most organisations.

There are between 30,000 and 40,000 household fires attended by the fire service every year in the UK. The outcome of a fire in your home can be significantly influenced by both the speed at which it is detected and whether equipment is available to you to fight the fire before it takes hold. Portable fire extinguishers aren't just for businesses. Wessex believe that they are vital life safety devices that play an important role in keeping your home and your family safe, and properly serviced fire extinguishers should be available in every household.
If you want to control who enters your business premises on a daily basis, you need an access control system. These systems allow you to determine who can come into your building, or parts of your building, and give you the scope to amend and revoke access whenever you want. An access system is by far the simplest and most efficient way of controlling movement into and within your business premises. These systems can give you total daily control of access and bring a unique level of confidence and reassurance.
Theft is a cost to your organisation. One in five thefts take place in stores, and shoplifting is at an all time high. CCTV deters criminals and gathers valuable evidence in the event of a theft. Our systems use the latest, state-of-the-art technology to protect your employees, prevent revenue loss and secure your business. When your focus is on the P&L, but there is so much cutting edge security tech available, you need to find the CCTV solution that will protect your business at the right cost.

From the expertise and commitment of one man, more than fifty years ago, to the well-respected, thriving family-run business you see today, the story of the Wessex Group is built on hard work and happy customers. Wessex Electricals' size and reputation expanded across the South West of England and Wessex Alarms (now known as Wessex Fire & Security) was founded in 1984, quickly growing to become the region's number one provider of security systems. Tony's eldest son, Simon, joined the business as a trainee security surveyor in 1985 cementing the family values that Wessex are still famous for today.
Not just for businesses or commercial properties, door and access entry systems are a simple, low cost and highly effective way to manage who has direct access to your home - at any given time. Access control systems give you, the homeowner, the ability to predetermine, record and remotely control who comes in and out of your home at any time of the day or night. The entryway to your home is a prime source of vulnerability, and specifically protecting this is an excellent way to safeguard your property.
A good fire system can save your life. Your home's fire alarms and equipment will need proper, regular maintenance to ensure that all systems are in working order and are ready to deploy and protect your family in the event of an emergency. Simply having fire systems and equipment installed, and familiarising yourself and your family in their operation, is not quite enough to ensure ongoing effective fire safety in your home. These systems and tools should also be regularly, and professionally, inspected and maintained.
Acting as both a deterrent and a means to catch an intruder, security cameras used alone, or as part of a complete home security system, give an unrivalled level of comfort and protection for your home and family. When you've decided you want a security camera system installed, you want it in place as soon as possible. Choosing a security system can often feel like an overwhelming task. Wessex has a team of welcoming, experienced CCTV specialists who can help you select the right options for your unique requirements.
