Uni-Guard Fire Protection specializes in supplying, installing, and servicing fire alarms, fire extinguishers, and emergency lights across the UK.
At the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, Uni-Guard was commissioned to replace an existing fire alarm system for a COVID overflow hospital.
Warehouse refurbishment
A local industrial warehouse and office building in Hampshire was undergoing refurbishment for use by the NHS as a potential COVID overflow hospital. The building required a new fire alarm system as the existing one was inadequate for the new requirement to protect lives within the facility.
Peter Le Lion, Fire Alarm Technician at Uni-Guard, says, “As you can imagine there was an urgent need to get the project up and ready as quickly as possible. We designed the project, received the go-ahead within a matter of days, and had to start the installation as soon as possible.”
Odyssey addressable devices and a control panel
A fully addressable fire alarm system comprising Eurotech’s Odyssey addressable devices and a Eurotech intelligent control panel was chosen as the most suitable option due to the speed of installation and the component’s reliability.

Eurotech’s Odyssey addressable detectors form part of a range of aesthetically pleasing low profile detection and alarm products and are fully compatible with all fire control equipment utilizing the Eurotech fully digital communication protocol.
Suitable and compliant solution
Peter says, “We’ve worked with Eurotech on several projects over recent years and have never been disappointed. They quickly provided a competitive costing and were able to deliver the equipment ahead of schedule. This allowed us to complete the installation ahead of a very tight schedule and also within the budget.”
Michelle Agius, Managing Director of Eurotech, says, “Uni-Guard has been a long-standing partner of ours and we were delighted to help out with the tight deadlines and requirements of this particular project. We take pride in working alongside our partners on projects, working out the most suitable, compliant solution to new installations together.”
Peter concludes, “We have always found them to be very knowledgeable about the vast range of products that they provide. They are always very helpful with product information and identifying the best solution for our projects.”
