Who Is BAC?
For more than 30 years, BAC has specialised in the area of intruder alarms, having begun its journey in the 1990s as the Bristol Alarm Company. Over time and through extensive training and consumer need, the company expanded and as such, boosted the range of services available.
BAC Fire and Safety is a family run business, so you know that, alongside complete professionalism, you will also receive a personal and welcoming service. The company has been largely managed by MD Stephen Reynolds who has a staggering 40 years of experience within the security industry.
With Stephen still at the helm, much of the company’s operations are now overseen by his two sons, Adam and Neil who between them have more than 30 years of experience in both security and fire.
Working with us, you will also have regular contact with our compliance and safety expert, Ben Reynolds. Having someone dedicated to this aspect of our work ensures that everything we do is to the very strictest standards.
But our work doesn’t stop at our office doors or even out in the field. BAC prides itself on being a local company and as such, gets involved in many community initiatives. In and around the Bristol area, we aim to work with young people for a better future, being actively involved with school programs and youth football teams. This is something we have now been doing for more than 10 years and aim to continue this for the foreseeable future.

What Are The Benefits Of Subcontracting To BAC Fire And Security?
Here at BAC Fire and Security, we know that you need to have 100% confidence in our reliability and quality. Fortunately, these are two things that we have built up a significant reputation for.
Local Company
Supporting local businesses is something that many people are focused on in recent times. In our local area, we aim to be much more than just a business; we want to be a major part of the community. One of the greatest benefits of working with local companies like us is that we know the area and we want to improve it and enjoy it just as much as you do.
Your commercial project is likely going to be aimed at local residents and businesses. With our knowledge of the community and active involvement in sponsorships, your project will be benefiting before we have even begun.
Moreover, it is known that supporting local businesses is better for the environment. Smaller companies are much more easily able to reduce their carbon footprint when compared to national and international businesses, and this is something that we heavily focus on.
Not only this but the more we are able to expand our business, the more we will be able to offer employment opportunities to local residents. It really does work both ways and since our reputation in the local community is currently excellent, we want to keep it that way.
Years Of Experience
Everybody has to start somewhere, but here at BAC Fire and Security, we have come a long way from our humble beginnings as the Bristol Alarm Company. While we look back on the early days of our company with fondness, we are proud to be where we are today. With a combined experience spanning more than 30 years, our current management team knows what they are doing.
Much of the work you get from us will come from our qualified engineers and installers, all of whom have extensive knowledge and experience. You can rest assured that every job we do is backed by this experience and we always strive to achieve the best.
But it doesn’t stop there. As time goes on and technology develops, BAC Fire and Security is always aiming to move with the times. As we work, we are constantly discovering new information and applying this to our day to day operations and this means that our business will continue to be able to offer you nothing but the best.
Qualified and Accredited By Industry Bodies
It is easy to start a business and claim to know what you are doing but at BAC Fire and Security we put our money where our mouth is and can proudly lay claim to having all of the relevant accreditations and qualifications.
In order to be the best and achieve our accreditations with some of the largest industry bodies, we have had to prove ourselves time and again. We are happy to continue doing this so that your qualifications and accreditations continue to be relative.
We are fully accredited in the areas of design, installation, repair and replacement of intruder alarm systems, CCTV systems and access control systems by the Security Systems and Alarms Inspections Board. To earn this accreditation, our company proved that it followed all of the correct police policies as well as being in line with insurers.
In addition to this, we are fully BAFE certified to design, install, repair and replace fire alarm systems to a high standard. This independent assessment allows us to demonstrate that, as a company, we are fully compliant and again, in line with what insurers would expect. Moreover, this is an ongoing program so we happily take part in yearly assessments to continue to prove our commitment to quality, professional work.
Perhaps one of the most well-recognised accreditations is that we have been fully approved by Trading Standards. This is something that instils much confidence in our clients and something that we are incredibly proud of. In order for us to have qualified for the Trading Standard Buy With Confidence Scheme, we needed to prove that our team are all fully CRB checked, we operate legally and ethically as well as offering excellent customer support and that our staff are fully qualified in their area of expertise. This program was designed to remove the risk of dealing with rogue traders and unless a trader has this certification, you should always proceed with caution.
In addition to the above accreditations, BAC Fire and Security has a wide range of certifications for health and safety, quality and our impact on the environment. If you are looking to work with a reliable company that prides itself on excellence, our list of accreditations will prove that we are more than up for the challenge.
Professional
While BAC Fire and Security is a family-run business, we aim to deliver a professional service at all times. But what is professionalism?
For us, we believe that being professional means having extensive knowledge in our field and being able to answer your questions with relevant information and in a confident manner. All the while, we remain polite, courteous and approachable.
Our team offers impeccable communication skills, dealing with clients in a friendly manner while managing problems in a timely and appropriate way. Our reliability is what sets BAC Fire and Security apart from the rest. We promise to always make you and your project a priority and we will always deal with issues as soon as they occur. In terms of our services, you can expect excellent time keeping, well mannered staff and top quality work.
All Staff Are Enhanced DBS/CRB Checked
If you are inviting our staff members to come into your premises and install or service your fire and security systems, you need to be 100% confident that they are honest, reliable and law-abiding people. While we always aim to employ this type of person, we know that our clients need that little extra confidence and as such, all of our staff are DBS and CRB checked.
A DBS check looks at the criminal record of any individual. It may show previous convictions and will detail if any prison time was served as a result of this. On the more advanced checks, information on whether the individual has been banned from working with children or vulnerable people will show up as well as any information that is relevant to their area of work.
The CRB check is a similar check that uses the Police National Computer to provide information on a person’s criminal history. Both spent and unspent convictions will be detailed, depending on the level of the check.
While there is no legal requirement for companies or organisations to have their staff undergo these kinds of checks, we believe that it is in the client’s best interests and for their safety. This is another level of client care that remains incredibly important to us.
Trusted and Reliable
In line with only employing staff that have undergone a DBS/CRB check, you can feel confident that working with us will be nothing but a pleasant and rewarding experience. Our team is incredibly reliable and have gained a trustworthy reputation that is undisputed.
But you don’t need to take our word for it. BAC Fire and Security are proud to display various testimonials from our previous and current clients who have referred to us as a ‘reliable firm who you know you can pick the phone up to and discuss your options’ and ‘the quality of the work done has always reassured us that we have made the right choice.’
We want to continue to provide a trusted and reliable service and are always on hand at the end of the telephone to talk through your questions and concerns.
24 Hour Response
We know that security breaches and fires do not wait for business hours. As such, BAC Fire and Security is proud to offer a full response service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. No matter when you need us, we will always be there.
Our phone lines and monitoring systems are manned 100% of the time, giving you the peace of mind that your commercial project is in the safest hands. What’s more, we have telephone support for our clients at all hours so if there are problems with your system or you have any questions, you will always be able to get hold of us.
We Offer A Full Design And Installation Service
You could go to one company to design your system, another to install it and another to maintain it, but this is far less cost-effective and much more of a headache. At BAC Fire and Security, we want to find solutions that make life easier for our commercial clients because after all, we know that you already have a lot on your plate.
From the initial conversation, we will begin devising a system that works for you and our design team put in a lot of thought as to how our systems can benefit your project. Once you are happy with the design, we will install everything for you giving you a detailed rundown of how to use the system.
Even after installation, our team is on hand 24/7/365 to monitor and maintain your system. If you have any problems, we will return to repair or replace the issue, leaving you free to worry about other important things. When you work with BAC Fire and Security, the safety of your commercial project will be entirely in our hands.
