Fire Alarm Design for Stately Homes

Adrian B
Morning All


As always, hoping someone can steer me in the right direction and pass on valuable advice/ recommendations:


Does anyone know if there are any specific fire alarm regulations/ requirements when designing a fire alarm system for a stately home.  This is an actual residence for a family, but due to the size of the property, the fact that the family employ staff to work within the home (7am-7pm, not 24/7), I feel that the normal application of fire alarm design for a 'regular' residential property may perhaps not be sufficient.


When reviewing the plans for the home, there are a lot of single points of egress (obviously as this was designed as a home not a business premises) and there are a lot of evacuation routes which appear to be greater than those you would normally use/ design when developing a fire alarm system for example within a business premises.


So, any advice as always would be hugely helpful and gratefully received.


Regards

    The I.E.T. published a booook entitled "Electrician's Guide to Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems, 3rd Edition.” ISBN 978-1-78561-674-7

     

    It must be good, as even I parted with some hard earned to invest in a copy.

    Thanks for the book info. Z and the interesting Firetrace video which is food for thought.
