Local Expertise
A Decade Protecting Westminster's Most Sensitive Buildings
Westminster presents fire safety challenges unlike anywhere else in London. With over 3,900 listed buildings — more than any other London borough — and a dense concentration of luxury hotels, government premises, heritage institutions and high-value mixed-use developments, the margin for error is zero and the requirement for specialist expertise is absolute.
Sysco Fire & Security has been installing wireless fire alarm systems in listed and heritage buildings across Central London for over a decade. Where conventional cabling would damage protected fabric, our wireless Cygnus systems deliver full BS 5839-1 compliance without a single structural alteration.
We are also a direct contractor to major hotel groups across London and Heathrow — including Hilton, Marriott and Holiday Inn — with every installation and maintenance visit carried out in fully live environments with zero disruption to guests or operations.
