Report
Aarhus Fire protection were commissioned to install a completely new fire alarm into a listing building which is currently tenanted -a significantly challenging job. Aarhus presented the best overall proposal, were approachable, communicated well throughout, were sympathetic to the fabric of the building and worked around the tenants to minimise disruption. A great team to work with and a credit to the company.
