Over 15 years of hands-on fire, security and electrical compliance experience — now under one independent business.
I founded Element Compliance Ltd after more than 15 years working in fire safety, security systems and electrical compliance across London and the South East. I've worked on everything from small retail fit-outs to complex multi-site contracts for schools, hospitals and commercial landlords.
I set up Element Compliance because I kept seeing the same problems: businesses being oversold services they didn't need, compliance visits that were rushed and poorly documented, and clients left confused about their legal obligations. I wanted to offer something different — expert, independent advice with the work done properly first time.
When you work with Element Compliance, you're dealing directly with me. There's no call centre, no salesperson — just an experienced engineer who cares about getting it right.
Simon Chapman
Director & Lead Engineer
Element Compliance Ltd
Every accreditation we hold is backed by annual audits and third-party assessment — not just a certificate on a wall.
BAFE (British Approvals for Fire Equipment) registration demonstrates our competency in fire protection services — the industry's recognised standard.
Electrical works are carried out in partnership with SGS Electrical, NICEIC approved contractors — so every installation is independently assessed against BS 7671, certificated and registered.
As a Fire Industry Association member we stay current with the latest codes of practice, legislation and technical standards.
NSI Gold certification covers our security systems installation — meeting the requirements of insurers and local authorities.
All engineers are DBS checked, meaning we can work safely across schools, healthcare facilities and other sensitive environments.
£5m public liability and employers' liability insurance — certificates available on request before any work commences.
We only recommend what you actually need. No upselling, no unnecessary work — just straightforward advice.
Every installation, report and service visit is completed to the highest technical standard — and documented properly.
We show up when we say we will, complete work on time, and follow up to make sure everything is right.
Design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of commercial fire detection systems across London and the South East.
A properly designed and maintained fire alarm system is your building's first line of defence. We design systems to BS 5839 standards, ensuring the right level of protection for your premises and occupancy type.
From a small L2 system in an office to a complex Category 1 addressable system across a multi-floor building, we handle the full process — from initial fire strategy through to commissioning, handover and ongoing maintenance.
Legal Requirement: Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, responsible persons must ensure adequate fire detection is in place for all non-domestic premises.
Free site survey and system design to BS 5839 — the right specification for your building type and use.
Full installation by qualified engineers with commissioning certificate and operating instructions.
Regular servicing, detector testing and logbook updates to maintain your compliance record.
Fast response to faults, false alarms and system failures — often same-day or next-day attendance.
Upgrading older conventional systems to modern addressable panels with remote monitoring capability.
We visit your site and assess your requirements at no charge.
We produce a detailed design to BS 5839, tailored to your premises.
Clean, professional installation with minimal disruption to your business.
Full system commissioning, testing and certification provided.
Annual servicing and 24/7 emergency cover keeps you protected.
Legally compliant fire risk assessments carried out by a BAFE-registered, competent assessor serving London and the South East.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person for any non-domestic premises to carry out — or commission — a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. This is a legal duty, not optional guidance.
Our assessments go beyond a tick-box exercise. We examine your building, its use, the occupants and the existing fire precautions, producing a clear, actionable report that tells you exactly what needs to be done — and in what priority order.
We carry out assessments for offices, retail premises, schools, healthcare facilities, warehouses, HMOs and mixed-use buildings across London and the South East.
Failure to have a suitable fire risk assessment in place can result in enforcement notices, fines or — in serious cases — prosecution. The responsible person (usually the owner, employer or managing agent) carries personal liability.
Physical inspection of all areas including fire escape routes, fire doors, detection systems and suppression equipment.
We identify ignition sources, fuel loads and people at risk — including any vulnerable occupants.
We assess what fire precautions are already in place and how effective they are for your specific premises.
A clear written report with prioritised recommendations — suitable for use with your insurer and local fire authority.
We can schedule regular reviews to keep your assessment current as your premises or business changes.
Every assessment we carry out covers the following key areas as a minimum.
Construction type, compartmentation, fire-stopping and the integrity of walls, floors and ceilings as fire barriers.
Adequacy of escape routes, travel distances, final exits and emergency signage throughout the premises.
Fire detection system coverage, manual call points and the ability to warn all occupants quickly and reliably.
Provision of escape lighting to illuminate routes when normal lighting fails, tested and maintained correctly.
Type, location and maintenance of portable fire extinguishers and any fixed suppression systems.
Fire safety training records, evacuation drills, staff responsibilities and fire logbook maintenance.
Supply, installation, annual servicing and staff training for all types of fire extinguisher — BS 5306 compliant throughout London and the South East.
Fire extinguishers are a legal requirement for most non-domestic premises. But having the wrong type, in the wrong location, or with an out-of-date service label, gives you false security and could put your staff at risk.
We assess your premises, recommend the correct type and number of extinguishers for your specific fire risks, and ensure they are correctly positioned, wall-mounted and clearly signed. Annual servicing keeps you compliant with BS 5306-3.
We assess your risk and recommend the right extinguisher types for your premises at no charge.
We supply, install and commission all types of extinguisher with correct signage and brackets.
BS 5306-3 compliant annual inspection, service and certification for all portable fire extinguishers.
Practical hands-on training so your team knows which extinguisher to use and when — and when to evacuate.
For electrical fires and server rooms — leaves no residue damage.
For Class A fires (paper, wood, textiles) — the most common office extinguisher.
Suitable for Class A, B and C fires — ideal for vehicles and outdoor use.
For liquid fires — effective and multi-purpose for mixed-risk environments.
Specifically designed for cooking oil fires — essential in commercial kitchens.
Design, installation and testing of emergency escape lighting to BS 5266 — ensuring your building can be safely evacuated when power fails.
Emergency lighting activates automatically when the mains power supply fails, illuminating escape routes and exit signs so occupants can safely leave the building. Without it, a power cut during a fire or emergency could lead to confusion, injury or worse.
We design systems to BS 5266, ensuring the right luminaire type, coverage and duration for your premises. All systems are commissioned with a photometric report and ongoing testing keeps you compliant year-round.
Legal Requirement: Emergency lighting is required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and must be maintained and tested in accordance with BS 5266.
Full photometric design ensuring adequate lux levels across all escape routes and open areas.
Clean installation of maintained or non-maintained luminaires with full commissioning documentation.
We can provide a testing schedule and logbook to keep your compliance record fully up to date.
Correct placement and type of exit signage in accordance with fire safety legislation and BS ISO 7010.
Design and installation of central battery systems for larger or more complex premises.
Door entry, keypads, fob readers, card access and intercoms — giving you full control over who enters your premises.
Access control systems let you restrict entry to authorised individuals, log who enters and exits, and respond instantly to lost or stolen credentials — without changing locks. Modern systems offer a far greater level of security and audit capability than traditional key-based security.
We design and install access control systems for businesses of all sizes — from a single door entry system in a small office to multi-door, multi-site systems with full software management and remote administration.
Not sure what level of access control you need? We offer a free consultation to assess your building, your risks and the most cost-effective solution.
Simple PIN-code entry for low-to-medium security requirements — ideal for staff-only areas and small offices.
Proximity readers using key fobs or smart cards — quick to use, easy to manage and simple to cancel if lost.
Intercom systems with video entry panels allowing staff to see and verify visitors before granting access.
Networked systems with centralised software management, audit trails and time-zone access scheduling.
Seamless integration with your CCTV and intruder alarm systems for a fully joined-up security solution.
Professional CCTV design, installation and maintenance for commercial premises throughout London and the South East.
A well-designed CCTV system does more than record footage — it actively deters crime, supports staff safety, assists with incident investigation and can reduce your insurance premiums. The key is getting the right cameras in the right positions, with the right resolution and storage.
We design every system around your specific site — assessing blind spots, lighting conditions, coverage priorities and your GDPR obligations before specifying a single camera. The result is a system that genuinely works for your business.
GDPR Note: CCTV systems must comply with UK GDPR and the DPA 2018. We advise on correct signage, data retention periods and access controls as part of every installation.
Crystal-clear footage with the resolution needed to identify individuals, vehicles and incidents.
Full-site coverage including car parks, entry points, reception areas, warehouses and retail floors.
Effective monitoring in low-light and no-light conditions without the need for additional lighting.
Networked video recording with flexible storage options — local, cloud or hybrid — to match your needs.
View your cameras from any smartphone, tablet or PC — live or recorded footage, from anywhere.
Annual health checks, lens cleaning, firmware updates and storage capacity reviews.
Graded commercial burglar alarm installation, maintenance and monitoring — protecting your premises around the clock.
A graded intruder alarm system is one of the most effective deterrents against break-ins and theft. Beyond the deterrent effect, a properly specified and maintained system is often a requirement of your business insurance — and can significantly reduce your premiums.
We install systems graded to BS EN 50131, from Grade 1 systems for lower-risk premises to Grade 3 high-security commercial systems. All systems are designed around your specific layout, access patterns and risk profile.
Insurance Requirement: Many business insurance policies require an NSI or SSAIB-approved alarm system. Our installations meet these standards.
From Grade 1 through to Grade 3 — correctly specified for your risk level and insurance requirements.
High-quality motion detection covering all entry points, corridors and high-value areas.
24/7 monitoring by a BS 5979 Category II Alarm Receiving Centre with police or keyholding response.
Flexible installation options — wireless for minimal disruption in occupied premises, hard-wired for new builds.
Instant alerts to nominated keyholders via app, call or SMS when the alarm activates.
Regular preventative maintenance keeps your system performing to its rated specification.
Commercial electrical installation, inspection, testing and certification for commercial premises across London and the South East.
All electrical work in commercial premises must be carried out by a competent person and certified in accordance with BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations). Working with our electrical partner, we can design, install, test and certify all types of commercial electrical work.
We regularly combine electrical services with our fire, security and lighting work — offering a joined-up approach that reduces site time, cost and the number of contractors you need to manage. Electrical works are carried out in partnership with SGS Electrical.
Electrical works are carried out in partnership with SGS Electrical, NICEIC approved contractors. NICEIC approval means the work is independently assessed against BS 7671, and every installation is certificated and registered.

Ongoing service contracts covering all your fire, security and electrical systems — keeping you compliant year-round without the admin burden.
A planned maintenance contract (PMC) with Element Compliance means all your compliance visits are scheduled, managed and documented on your behalf. We send you reminders, produce service reports and keep your compliance records in order — so you can focus on running your business.
Unlike large maintenance contractors, we're flexible. We'll build a contract around what you actually need, covering the systems and frequency required for your specific premises and obligations.
PPM contracts also include priority emergency response, with guaranteed attendance times for any faults or failures across your covered systems.
