Who are we and why do we care?

What kind of Fire Safety do you offer?
AFT group started off solely concentrating on Servicing Contracts working on Fire Alarms and Emergency Lighting. As the business grew, we incorporated additional services including, Fire Extinguishers and Maintenance of Dry Risers. Around 14 years ago, we added Fire Doors into what was becoming a total solution services and shortly after we became accredited installers of the FIRAS scheme, which acts as an umbrella to ensure regulation and compliance to British Standards 8214 and all other associated regulation documents. The final piece of our jigsaw was the Fire Stopping element and working with leading brands like Hilti to provide the best outcomes for our client. We feel that we have all the services that you would need to provide you with a workable solution to any issues that you may have.
