Fire and Security Systems for Schools, Colleges, and Public Buildings

Educational and public spaces need to protect people while remaining open, accessible, and welcoming.
At Valley Fire & Security Ltd, we design, install, and maintain fire and security systems that safeguard students, staff, and the public — without disrupting daily operations.

From schools and universities to libraries, offices, and civic buildings, we support public sector organisations with compliant, reliable protection that keeps people safe, facilities secure, and operations running smoothly.

Built Around Your Responsibilities and Compliance Standards
Every education or public sector building is different — from the layout and occupancy to the safeguarding and compliance requirements.We begin by assessing your site, identifying risk areas, and understanding your operational needs before designing a system that fits your environment perfectly.Our designs meet BAFE and SSAIB standards and align with Department for Education, local authority, and building safety regulations.We focus on practical, scalable solutions that protect people, reduce risk, and make compliance simple to manage across your estate.
Safe, Efficient, and Tailored to Your Schedule
We understand the challenges of working in occupied schools or public buildings.Our engineers plan installations around your term times, event schedules, and access requirements — completing projects quickly, cleanly, and safely.From system upgrades to full-scale installations, we deliver every project to British Standards with full commissioning, handover, and staff training.All work is managed under strict health and safety procedures, giving you confidence that every system will perform exactly as intended.
Keeping Systems Reliable and Compliance Up to Date
In education and public sector environments, fire and security systems must perform without fail — and compliance must be documented at every stage.Our proactive maintenance contracts keep your systems reliable and your compliance records ready for inspection at any time.We provide scheduled servicing, fault testing, and 24/7 emergency support, with all reports stored securely for full traceability.This ensures every fire alarm, emergency light, and security system is not only operational but fully compliant with UK legislation and insurance requirements.
