Local Expertise
A Decade Supporting Southwark's Growth
Southwark has undergone more commercial and residential transformation than almost any other London borough in the last decade. From the South Bank's cultural institutions to the Canada Water regeneration — London's most significant development programme — and the towers rising around London Bridge and Elephant and Castle, the compliance demands on building owners and responsible persons have grown in step with the skyline.
Sysco Fire & Security has been part of Southwark's safety infrastructure throughout this growth. We completed the full waking watch replacement at the Canada Water development — 143 apartments across three buildings, 700+ wireless devices, certified in three weeks. We understand the compliance obligations that come with occupied residential developments, mixed-use commercial premises and new-build handovers in this part of London.
Whether you are a property manager, housing association, main contractor or developer, we deliver one contractor and full accountability from survey to certified handover.
The Government has just announced a new £62.7 million Interim Measures Alarm Fund for buildings awaiting cladding remediation. If your building in Southwark is still running waking watch, you may be eligible. Sysco Fire & Security can survey your building and provide the BAFE-certificated documentation required for your funding application within 48 hours.
