Top 5 Fire Safety Upgrades for Wigan Property Owners on a Budget
Keeping your property fire-safe doesn’t have to cost the earth. Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, or local business owner in Wigan, taking proactive steps to upgrade your fire safety can offer priceless peace of mind — and with the right support, it can also be cost-effective.
At GHE Electrical, Fire & Security Ltd., we specialise in helping Wigan property owners enhance their fire protection systems without breaking the bank. With decades of experience, our team offers reliable, affordable, and fully certified fire safety solutions for domestic and commercial properties across Wigan and the surrounding areas.
Here are the top five fire safety upgrades we recommend to keep your property safe — even on a budget.
1. Install Interlinked Smoke and Heat Alarms
Many older properties in Wigan still rely on standalone alarms, which may not provide adequate coverage or alert all areas of a property. Upgrading to interlinked smoke and heat alarms ensures that if one alarm is triggered, they all sound – giving occupants vital extra seconds to respond.
✅ Ideal for landlords and HMO properties
✅ Budget-friendly and quick to install
✅ Fully compliant with the latest fire regulations
GHE Electrical offers competitively priced alarm packages that meet both legal requirements and insurance standards.
2. Add Emergency Lighting in Key Areas
Emergency lighting isn’t just for commercial buildings – it’s a crucial safety feature in flats, stairwells, and communal areas. If a power cut occurs during a fire, properly placed emergency lighting can guide people to safety.
🔧 Low-maintenance and energy-efficient LED options
🧰 Installed and tested by NICEIC-approved electricians
📍 Available for homes, offices, and retail spaces in Wigan
Our team at GHE provides emergency lighting installation and testing that fits your budget and meets current BS 5266-1 standards.
3. Upgrade Your Fire Extinguishers
Many property owners don’t realise their fire extinguishers are out-of-date or inappropriate for the types of risks in their property. A simple upgrade to the right class of extinguisher can be a life-saving investment.
🔥 ABC Powder for general use
🔥 CO₂ for electrical fire risks
🔥 Fire blankets for kitchen areas
We supply, install and maintain fire extinguishers across Wigan with full servicing and safety checks included.
4. Carry Out a Fire Risk Assessment
A professional fire risk assessment identifies hazards, ensures compliance with regulations, and gives you a clear, actionable plan for safety improvements. While this might sound expensive, it’s often more affordable than a fine — or the cost of a fire.
