Northumberland's industrial hub

Fire safety for Cramlington's businesses

Cramlington grew as a planned town, and its industrial estates, including Nelson Park, West and East Hartford, Bassington and Northumberland Business Park, support everything from pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing to engineering, food production and distribution. The town centre around Manor Walks adds retail, leisure and hospitality.

Manufacturing sites have specific fire risks: flammable liquids, dusts, process heat and complex buildings. Our IFSM-accredited assessor, who holds a Level 4 Diploma in Fire Risk Assessment, looks at how each risk is controlled and how people get out, then gives you clear, prioritised actions.

Our Level 3 FIA-certified engineers handle fire alarm design, installation and servicing, and we supply extinguishers, intruder alarms and CCTV across the town. Every engineer is enhanced DBS certified, and Cramlington's links to the A19 and A1 make it quick for us to reach.
