BDi Advance provides fire and security services for businesses and organisations across Peterborough, the cathedral city on the River Nene. From offices and shops in the city centre to warehouses and industrial sites along the A1, A47 and A15, we design, install, service and maintain commercial fire alarms, fire extinguishers, intruder alarms, access control and CCTV, so one team looks after the systems that protect your people, premises and assets.
We help business owners, landlords and responsible persons keep on top of their fire safety duties, and we work with blue-chip organisations in the pharmaceutical, healthcare and technology sectors as well as smaller local firms. For CCTV and commercial security in the city, see our CCTV in Peterborough and commercial security systems in Peterborough pages.

Why choose us
Why BDi Advance in Peterborough
What Peterborough organisations get when fire and security sit with one contractor.
Fire and security under one roof
One team
Fire alarms and extinguishers alongside intruder alarms, access control and CCTV, so your Peterborough site has one contractor, one maintenance plan and one number to call.
A site visit before any quote
Quotation
We walk the building, look at how it is used and at any insurer or fire safety requirements, then quote for what the site actually needs.
Cover day and night
Support
Someone answers our service line 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and we can send an emergency technician out at any hour.
Systems fitted by someone else
Takeovers
If another contractor fitted your fire alarm or security system, we can take over the servicing and maintenance rather than start again.
Our services

Security and fire
Fire and security systems in Peterborough
A Peterborough business has duties on both fronts. The responsible person must keep the fire alarm and extinguishers in working order, and insurers often set conditions on how the premises are protected against break-ins. We look after both, and design CCTV, intruder alarms and access control as one system where that adds value.
Our fire alarm work covers conventional and addressable systems, and our security work extends to ANPR, barriers, turnstiles and fence alarms for larger sites, including blue-chip organisations in the pharmaceutical, healthcare and technology sectors.
Fire safety for Peterborough premises
Our own engineers install, service and repair fire alarms and fire extinguishers, and our sister companies handle the rest of your fire safety, with BDi Advance as your single point of contact.
Fire alarms and extinguishers
Conventional and addressable fire alarms designed, installed, serviced and repaired, and the right types and number of fire extinguishers supplied, installed and serviced. BDi Advance is a member of the Fire Industry Association (FIA). Commercial fire alarms
Fire risk assessments, fire doors and fire stopping
Fire risk assessments are arranged through our sister company Pyro Fire, and fire doors and fire stopping are delivered by our sister company Aran Fire Protection. Aran Fire Protection also provides fire suppression, with all enquiries through BDi Advance. You deal with us throughout. Fire risk assessments
One maintenance arrangement. Your fire alarm, extinguishers, CCTV, intruder alarm and access control can all be serviced by the same team.
Servicing and maintenance in Peterborough
Across Peterborough and the nearby Fenland towns, our engineers service, maintain and repair fire alarms, fire extinguishers, CCTV, intruder alarms and access control, whoever installed them.
24-hour support
Day and night, every day of the year, a person answers our line and an emergency technician can attend, with faults supported remotely where the system allows.
Takeovers and upgrades
For Peterborough buildings with a system that is outdated, unreliable or no longer suited to their use, we inspect what is installed and advise on repair, upgrade or replacement.
Our maintenance contracts include a full check twice a year as standard. More about maintenance
Site and perimeter security
ANPR, barriers and perimeter protection
For larger Peterborough sites, such as warehouses, yards and multi-building premises, we also install and maintain systems that control vehicles and protect the site boundary, alongside CCTV and access control.
Tied into your cameras and access control, an ANPR read, a barrier movement or a fence alarm is logged and viewed alongside everything else on site.
ANPR cameras
Vehicle recognition
Number plate recognition with TagMaster ANPR cameras, so gates and car parks at Peterborough warehouses and yards open for the right vehicles.
Barriers and turnstiles
Controlled entry
Rising arm barriers, bollards, road blockers and turnstiles that keep delivery traffic, staff and visitors to the routes you choose.
Perimeter protection
The site boundary
Fence alarms and perimeter detection that warn you when someone tries to climb or cut through a fence line, long before the doors are reached.
How we work
From site visit to ongoing support
Quotations start with a free site visit. A Peterborough survey tells us how the building is used and what has to be protected, and from that we design fire and security systems to suit the site and the budget, rather than quoting blind.

SSAIB certified for security, FIA members for fire
In Peterborough, our SSAIB certification applies to the whole life of a CCTV, intruder alarm or access control system: installation, servicing and maintenance. For fire alarm work, BDi Advance is a member of the Fire Industry Association (FIA). We are also a CHAS accredited contractor. Peterborough sites sometimes have insurer or fire safety conditions to meet; share them when we survey and the design will account for them.
Fire and security across Peterborough and nearby
Peterborough is the northern edge of the area we cover from Huntingdon. For fire and security systems in Peterborough, responsive maintenance and long-term support come from local engineers at a Cambridgeshire business, on our own installations and on systems we take over.
Areas near Peterborough
We work across the city and its PE1 to PE9 postcode areas, from the city centre and cathedral to sites near Nene Park and along the A1, A47 and A15 corridors. We also cover these nearby towns.
Our engineers are local to the region, and we also work with national clients across the UK.
Sectors we work in
In Peterborough we protect offices, retail premises, warehouses, schools, healthcare, pharmaceutical and technology sites.
- Pharmaceutical
- Healthcare
- Technology
- Manufacturing
- Food production
- Education
- Retail
- Warehouses
A warehouse needs its stock and yard covered out of hours, while a busy office needs simple, safe access and a fire alarm everyone can rely on. We design around how the site is actually used.
“Advance Security has been the supplier of our fire alarm and security systems for a number of years. The contract includes servicing, emergency call outs (both in and out of working hours) and routine maintenance.
From initial consultation to identifying the right technology to support our business needs, through to installation and trouble-shooting, the service from Paul and his team has been outstanding. Their overall knowledge of the industry and systems, plus specialist training of highly skilled engineers and fully engaged and helpful office staff, provide a committed and superior service to that of their competitors.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to others.”
Facilities Manager, Smith & Nephew, Cambridge
