Commercial Fire and Intruder Installation for Banana Industries
A legacy commercial alarm upgraded to Ajax for Banana Industries in Sheffield, coordinated alongside the premises' separate fire-protection requirements.
What the property or business required
Banana Industries had inherited older intruder controls that no longer provided the clear, modern user experience required by the business. The premises also had separate fire-protection needs, so the project had to be coordinated without treating the fire and intruder systems as one combined function. NOX assessed the existing arrangement, replaced the ageing alarm controls with Ajax equipment, introduced new detection and opening protection, installed the external NOX siren and completed a clear handover and future-support route for the Sheffield team.
Modernise the inherited commercial intruder alarm and coordinate the work alongside the premises' fire-safety requirements, while keeping each system's operation, testing and records clearly separated.
NOX replaced the ageing alarm controls with a modern Ajax system, configured the keypad, movement and door protection, installed the external NOX siren and completed the coordinated fire and security handover.

How NOX approached this commercial fire & security project
The installed equipment matters, but the positions, property layout, operating routine and handover determine whether the finished system is genuinely useful.
Coverage and requirement
Audit the inherited alarm controls before replacement so the new Ajax design reflected the premises, access points and people responsible for operating the system.
Installation planning
Coordinate the intruder upgrade alongside the separate fire-protection requirements while keeping each system's functions, records and ongoing servicing route clearly defined.
Control and handover
Complete the keypad, detector, door protection, siren and user setup with a practical handover for the people opening, closing and managing the Sheffield site.
What was delivered at Sheffield, South Yorkshire
Banana Industries received a modern Ajax commercial intruder upgrade with new user controls, movement and opening protection, a visible external NOX siren and a clearer ongoing-support route coordinated alongside the premises' fire protection.
Businesses across Sheffield and South Yorkshire often inherit older alarm equipment alongside separate fire-safety duties. A proper takeover survey can establish what should be removed, retained or replaced while keeping the intruder and fire systems correctly separated in operation, records and annual servicing.

View serviceQuestions about similar commercial fire & security work
Can an older commercial alarm be upgraded to Ajax?
Often yes. The existing controls, detectors, wiring, communication, access and site requirements should be assessed before confirming what can be retained and what should be replaced.
Can one contractor coordinate fire and intruder work?
Yes. NOX can coordinate suitable projects through one team, while keeping the design, commissioning, operation and future servicing of each system clearly defined.
Can the upgraded systems be serviced after installation?
Yes. Fire-alarm servicing, intruder maintenance and monitoring can be quoted as clear ongoing services following handover.
