Across the South East, educational settings of every size rely on well-maintained fire safety systems to protect pupils, staff and visitors every single day. From small nurseries and primary schools to large academies, colleges and university campuses, fire safety is not a one-size-fits-all responsibility.
At C&M Fire Alarms, supporting local schools and education providers has been part of our work for over 50 years. We understand the pressures schools face with limited budgets, busy sites, ageing buildings and the need for systems that work reliably without disruption to learning.
Fire safety in schools goes well beyond installing an alarm
According to UK government fire incident data published last year, schools remain one of the most common non-domestic building types affected by fire, reinforcing the importance of regular servicing, testing and emergency planning. A well-maintained system can make all the difference.
A complete fire safety service for educational settings
C&M Fire Alarms can provide a one-stop-shop, including fire alarm installation, servicing and maintenance, monitoring, fire extinguishers, EVCS and 3-hour emergency lighting services. Whether a school operates across a single building or a multi-site campus, our team has experience working with a wide range of systems and layouts, these includes listed and historic buildings where sensitivity and compliance are essential.
We have worked with a range of schools from Private schools in Horsham to Primary schools in Sittingbourne, Kent and Secondary schools in Worthing, tailoring solutions to suit each site’s specific needs. Importantly, schools do not need to have had their system installed by C&M for us to help as we regularly take over the servicing and maintenance of existing systems, ensuring they remain compliant and reliable without unnecessary replacement.

Flexibility on contracts and no-obligation quotation
One of the biggest concerns we hear from schools is being tied into long, inflexible contracts. That’s why C&M Fire Alarms does things differently. We don’t lock schools into lengthy four-year agreements. Instead, we focus on providing expert advice, dependable service and long-term value, the quality of our work speak for itself.
As Victoria, Managing Director at C&M Fire Alarms, explains:
“Schools need a fire safety partner they can trust — one that understands their buildings, their budgets and their responsibilities. Our aim is always to provide clear advice, reliable systems and responsive support, without tying schools into contracts they don’t need.”
A long-standing client sums it up perfectly:
“Fantastic company, been in a contract for over 30 years, never had any issues, always quick to respond to call outs and any upgrades to the system.” Client Testimonial
