BPHA

A trusted fire and security partner for one of England’s largest housing associations

Talk to us

BPHA is one of the largest housing associations in England. Ace has been working with BPHA for five years, designing, installing and servicing fire alarm systems and CCTV cameras in their properties, including tower blocks and smaller dwellings.

Key Issues

BPHA has a duty of care to keep their properties and residents safe and secure. To protect residents from the risk of fire, they must meet strict regulations, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order which has been updated in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire. BPHA wanted to go one step further to enhance occupant safety, by installing sprinkler systems. They must also ensure their residents and their homes are protected against the risks of theft, vandalism and anti-social behaviour.

19,000+ homes

Ace approach

We treat each property on a case-by-case basis, taking a consultative approach and providing a tailored solution to fire and security. Each year we carry out a Fire Risk Assessment to ensure our solutions are fit for purpose.

Prior to the Grenfell Tower fire, fire alarms were only required in landlord areas of tower blocks, such as the stairs and corridors. Since the latest regulations came into place, we have been working with BPHA to install fire alarms, fire extinguishers and fire sprinkler systems in individual flats to enhance residents’ safety. We also carry out CCTV installation to help reduce theft, disturbance and anti-social behaviour. We provide a dedicated Account Manager who manages the relationship and acts as the go-to contact for the client. All systems are serviced every 6 months to comply with mandatory fire maintenance schedules and ensure all systems are operating optimally.

Outcome

The client has peace of mind that its properties and the residents who occupy them have enhanced protection against the risks of fire and theft. They have a dedicated fire and security partner they can rely on to help them improve safety standards in their properties and ensure they adhere to the latest regulations and legislation.
