Overview
Your fire and security company in Haverhill
BDi Advance provides fire and security services for businesses in Haverhill, the market town on the Suffolk-Essex border between Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds and Saffron Walden. We work with shops and offices in the historic town centre, factories and units on the industrial estates, and care homes, schools and healthcare buildings, designing, installing and maintaining intruder alarms, access control, CCTV and commercial fire alarms.
Haverhill has a growing business community, and no two sites need quite the same protection. The town is part of the area we cover around Cambridge, and one team looks after your security and fire systems rather than two separate contractors.

- 24-hour manned service line and 24-hour emergency call-out, 365 days a year

Why choose us
Why BDi Advance in Haverhill
What Haverhill businesses can expect when they bring their fire and security to us.
A free site visit first
Quotation
Quotations start with a free site visit. We look at your premises, how they are used and what needs protecting before we design anything.
Help around the clock
Support
Faults do not keep office hours, and neither does our support. Someone answers the phone day or night, every day of the year, and an engineer can be sent out if the problem cannot be fixed remotely.
Existing systems welcome
Takeovers
We service, maintain and take over systems installed by other companies, so equipment that still does its job does not need replacing.
One team for fire and security
Maintenance
Intruder alarms, access control, CCTV, fire alarms and fire extinguishers under one maintenance arrangement, with a full check twice a year as standard.

Choose a service to find out more.
Intruder alarms
Haverhill shops, offices and industrial units can have a graded intruder alarm with app control, keyholder alerts and monitored options, all installed and serviced under our SSAIB certification.
Best for: knowing straight away if someone gets in out of hours.
Access control
Door access control for offices, factories, schools, care homes and healthcare buildings: fobs, cards, keypads, door entry and integrated systems, including Paxton and Avigilon access control.
Best for: controlling staff and visitor access to buildings and restricted areas.
CCTV
Recording, remote viewing and analytics for buildings, yards and car parks in Haverhill, using camera systems that include Avigilon, i-PRO and Milestone.
Best for: seeing and recording what happens around your site.
Fire alarms
For Haverhill premises, we design, install, service and repair commercial fire alarms, and supply, install and service fire extinguishers.
Best for: businesses, landlords and property managers with fire safety duties.
Security and fire
Security systems in Haverhill
Haverhill premises range from older buildings in the town centre to modern units on the industrial estates, and the right security depends on the building. Where it adds value, intruder alarms, access control and CCTV become one system, so an activation can be checked on camera and doors managed from the same platform.
For factories and industrial units that usually means protecting stock, yards and vehicles out of hours; for offices, care homes, schools and healthcare buildings it usually means managing who can go where during the day. Each system is planned around how the site is used, what needs protecting and any insurer requirements.
Fire safety for Haverhill premises
We help businesses, landlords and property managers in Haverhill meet their fire safety responsibilities. Our own engineers fit, service and repair fire alarms and fire extinguishers, while the rest is arranged through our sister companies, so Haverhill businesses deal with one contact.

Fire risk assessments, fire doors and fire stopping

Fire and security from one team. We can look after the CCTV, intruder alarm, access control and fire alarm under a single maintenance arrangement.
Servicing and maintenance in Haverhill
Systems need to stay reliable long after installation day. Whoever installed them, we service, maintain and repair intruder alarms, access control, CCTV, fire alarms and fire extinguishers for Haverhill businesses.
24-hour support
Whatever the time, a person takes your call, an emergency technician can attend, and remote diagnostics and support are available where the system allows it, every day of the year.
Takeovers and upgrades
When an inherited system is unreliable, out of date or no longer suits how the building is used, we inspect it and tell you whether repairing, upgrading or replacing it makes more sense.
Our maintenance contracts include a full check twice a year as standard. More about maintenance
Site and perimeter security
ANPR, barriers and perimeter protection
On Haverhill’s industrial estates, factories and larger units can add systems that control vehicles and protect the site boundary, installed and maintained by us alongside CCTV and access control.
Connect them to your other systems and every number plate read, barrier movement or perimeter alarm adds to one view of your Haverhill site.
ANPR cameras
Vehicle recognition
Automatic number plate recognition, including TagMaster ANPR cameras, for car parks, gatehouses and vehicle access control.
Barriers and turnstiles
Controlled entry
Automatic barriers, bollards, road blockers and turnstiles to manage vehicle and pedestrian entry to your site.
Perimeter protection
The site boundary
Perimeter intrusion detection and fence alarms that detect intruders at the boundary, before they reach the building.
How we work
From site visit to ongoing support
Quotations start with a free site visit. Haverhill sites get a walk-round before we quote: we note the layout, how the building is used and what needs protecting, then design fire and security systems to fit the premises and the budget.
