Local Expertise
A Decade Protecting Canary Wharf's Residential and Commercial Towers
Canary Wharf and the wider Tower Hamlets borough is home to some of London's most complex fire safety challenges — cladding-affected high-rise residential buildings, densely occupied towers and major mixed-use developments where the cost of getting fire safety wrong is measured in lives, not just compliance notices.
Sysco Fire & Security has replaced waking watch across landmark Canary Wharf developments including a completed wireless fire alarm installation across an eight-storey residential development — 90 apartments, 300+ wireless devices, installed and certified in two weeks with dual path monitoring throughout.
If your building is running waking watch, every week it continues is money that could fund a permanent compliant system. We can survey your building and provide a compliant proposal within 48 hours.
