TRUSTEE FIRE & SECURITY
About Us
“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.”
Trustee Alarms began in December 1978 with a simple promise: deliver reliable protection and straightforward service to local businesses and homes. Word spread, relationships grew, and the name “Trustee” became a familiar sight across South London and Kent.
Four decades later, in 2018, Nick & Tony brought a combined 40+ years of fire & security experience to the business.
Four decades later, in 2018, Nick & Tony brought a combined 40+ years of fire & security experience to the business.
With the right mindset and a shared, motivated effort, they took the reins, renamed the company Trustee Fire & Security, and introduced a bold new brand.
This marked the start of a new Trustee era, energising our team and renewing our commitment to protecting what matters most.

The first of the Trustee fleet!
Operations ran from Catford as the team expanded and the workload increased. Consistent growth in customers and staff soon made the original office too small, so in May 2021 we moved to Orpington into a larger office and warehouse facility. The extra space let us scale our engineering teams, stock more equipment, and turn projects around faster.
TFS are certified under BAFE SP203-1 for fire alarm systems and SSAIB for intruder alarms, CCTV, and access control. We also hold BM TRADA Q-Mark accreditations for fire door installation, fire door maintenance, and fire stopping, along with certification from the ADIA (Automatic Door Installation Association) reflecting our expertise in automated door systems.
We are proud members of the Fire Industry Association (FIA), Constructionline Platinum, SafeContractor, Acclaim SSIP, and Gate Safe Aware Installer schemes, and are fully ICO registered for data protection.
Our friendly and professional helpdesk team provides a responsive, customer-focused service — coordinating planned maintenance, managing emergency callouts, and supporting clients with knowledgeable, efficient assistance. From your first enquiry through to long-term service support, we make compliance and safety simple.
