Hatchmoor Nursing Home

 

 

 

Hochiki fire detection and alarm equipment has been installed throughout the purpose-built 64-bedroom Hatchmoor Nursing Home in Great Torrington, North Devon.

 

 

 

 

 

It is home to approximately 50 residents, who are protected by Hochiki's leading-edge ESP or Enhanced System Protocol analogue addressable sensors, call points and sounders.

 

The design, installation and commissioning of the system was undertaken by Barnstable-based Challenge Alarm Services, which has also been entrusted with the installation's ongoing maintenance. The company, which is accredited to BAFE [British Approvals for Fire Equipment] SP203 for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of firedetection, alarm and suppression systems, recommended Hochiki to Hatchmoor's owner, Solomon Singh, because of the reliability of its devices.

 

 

Managing Director, Justin Dennis says:

 

“We have never had an Hochiki device failure on any of the projects where they have been installed. The company's equipment has never caused a false alarm, which is particularly important in a building that is home to elderly and potentially easily confused or panicked residents.”
