Fire alarm, CCTV and access control systems for Tewkesbury's distribution sites, market-town businesses and riverside properties.
Tewkesbury's M5 J9 corridor and Ashchurch industrial estate make it one of the busiest logistics and light-industrial hubs in the county. We install and maintain commercial fire alarms, ANPR-ready CCTV and yard-access systems at distribution units where uptime and audit trails matter as much as the kit itself.
In the historic centre we work to a different brief — discreet device placement, regs-compliant detection in tight Tudor-frame buildings, and intruder systems that respect the fabric of older properties on Church Street and High Street.
Flood risk is also a factor we consider. Panels, sounders and control equipment are mounted clear of historic flood lines wherever practical, and signalling routes are specified for resilience.
Commercial fire alarms, ANPR CCTV and gate access for units across Ashchurch Business Centre and the M5 J9 corridor.
Sensitive fire and intruder installs in the High Street, Church Street and Mythe conservation areas.
Panel and signalling placement specified above local flood lines on riverside properties near the Severn and Avon.
We have installed across multiple units on Ashchurch and the M5 J9 corridor — from single-tenant warehousing to multi-let business centres.
Where yard access, dwell time or visitor logging matters we specify CCTV positions and lenses that support ANPR retrofit without re-routing cable.
Panels, batteries and signalling equipment are mounted above historic flood lines on riverside Tewkesbury properties as a matter of course.
Tudor-frame and timber-clad properties in the High Street and Church Street get device placements and cable routes chosen to avoid damaging original fabric.
Addressable BS 5839 Part 1 systems for distribution units across Ashchurch Business Centre.
Grade 3 monitored systems for high-stock warehousing along the M5 J9 corridor.
ANPR-ready IP camera networks for yards, gatehouses and loading bays.
Gate, barrier and door-entry systems for industrial units and multi-let business centres.
Escape-route lighting for warehouse units and historic retail premises on the High Street.
Servicing contracts geared around shift patterns at logistics sites — call-outs scheduled out-of-hours where needed.
Tewkesbury's distribution and light-industrial cluster around Ashchurch is where most of our access-control work in the town happens, and the requirements are different from an office fit-out. Sites here need gate and yard control as much as door control: barriers and gates that answer to the same credential system as the building, driver access windows that match shift patterns, and an audit trail that shows exactly who was on site when — the first thing an insurer or auditor asks for after an incident.
Uptime matters more than elegance on these sites. A failed reader on a distribution unit's goods entrance stops work, so we specify controllers with local fallback — doors keep working to cached credentials if the network drops — and commission every fail-safe and fail-secure decision in writing. Where a site runs CCTV alongside — most do — the access events and camera timeline can be tied together, so a gate event pulls up the matching footage rather than an hour of scrubbing.
The other half of Tewkesbury could not be more different: Tudor-frame and listed buildings along High Street and Church Street where surface trunking and drilled mullions are not acceptable. Access control here means choosing hardware for discretion — readers in keeping with the frontage, wireless locking where cabling would damage fabric, and door-entry panels positioned so they serve the building without defacing it.
The compliance rules do not relax for old buildings: an escape-route door still has to release on fire alarm activation regardless of how historic the door is. We design that interface into every heritage installation and document it for the responsible person, the same as we would on a warehouse.
Yes — the Ashchurch estate and the M5 J9 corridor are core patch for us. Typical work covers gate and barrier control, fob or ANPR-ready vehicle entry, shift-window access schedules and full audit trails, integrated with the site's fire alarm so escape doors release on activation. Sites on a live maintenance contract are covered by 24/7 emergency call-out.
Yes. Wireless locking hardware and battery readers avoid chasing cables through protected fabric, and where listed building consent is likely to be needed we flag it at survey stage so it can be agreed before anything is fixed to the building. The fire-alarm release interface is designed in regardless of the building's age — compliance does not relax for heritage properties.
Yes. We position cameras and select lenses to support ANPR — either at install or as a later retrofit — so vehicle dwell time, gate triggering and visitor logging can all be tied into the same system.
We mount fire panels, batteries, sounders and signalling equipment above the local historic flood line wherever the building allows. Cable entries are sealed and signalling is dual-path so resilience does not depend on a single phone line.
Yes. We schedule installs around shift patterns — typically nights or weekends for large warehousing — and stage works so loading bays and racking aisles stay operational.
Yes. Bishop's Cleeve, Winchcombe and the southern Vale are all within our standard Tewkesbury coverage area.
