Report
I have dealt with Fire Action for the last 4-5years, and they have never disappointed, or let us down. They are very competitive, capable, professional and 'think on their feet'. They are highly adaptable especially with tenders that are missing crucial details, or value engineering projects. They have a very 'CAN DO' approach, where other suppliers would shy away. We feel thoroughly supported by Fire Action and would be hard pushed to place such trust in any other company

Fire Action have just installed a new CCTV system for us in our store. Very professional and friendly service from start to finish. They have looked after our fire alarm system since 2004 and we wouldn't use anybody else! Highly recommended.

Fire Action Ltd are a professional and exceptional business that have recently installed an Intruder Alarm System at my parents property, where they were FIRST CLASS. All engineers conducted excellence in how they performed their works and direct conduct with their Managing Director throughout separated this company from its competitors as although this was a relatively small install the relationship that was created was personal and outstanding.
Their demonstration of knowledge and passion for their existence, instantly gave me reassurance that I could rely on them to assist in providing and meeting all my requirements. From the initial enquiry all the way through to completion to a quality, affordable and pleasant encounter leaves me no hesitation in highly recommending Fire Action Ltd in the future.

Fire Action Ltd installed our new house alarm recently and they have done a fantastic job. They were able to recommend the right product for us and now I feel much safer knowing our home is secure when we go out and at night. The system is simple and easy to use. I love the handy fobs for your key ring - they make setting and unsetting the alarm system so quick and practical, especially for the odd occasion where a visitor might need to manage the alarm system or when your hands are full carrying the shopping! I would highly recommend Fire Action to anyone looking for a smart and thorough alarm system install.
