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

    Thanks TS. Interesting regarding the aspirated system for the void.

    Went with this solution because you can bet your bottom dollar that's the area that won't get tested by engineers, also from a health & safety aspect it was the way to go, surprisingly the client didn't need any encouragement they loved the idea.
