Our Projects
Completed case studies and ongoing jobs
MW Fire have gone from strength to strength in a relatively short period. For twenty‑five years we have focused on expert advice, quality installation and the best preventative maintenance possible. Our projects range from local works to major installations such as the fire system for the Old War Office. Below is a selection of present and past projects we are proud to share.
The Old War Office
A more prestigious location is hard to find: a stone’s throw from the War Office, the Admiralty, Horse Guards Parade and Downing Street. It is an exceptional setting for one of the capital’s most significant redevelopments.
Our role:
We were responsible for the full installation process, from design through to commissioning, working in partnership with our client, the Ardmore Group.

At Frog Island, we installed new fire alarms, flame detection, deluge systems and Vesda/ASD panels.
Dorsett Hotel — Shepherds Bush
Dorsett is an international hotel and hospitality group established in 2007, with properties in major cities around the world.

Notifier by Honeywell technology was selected for the fire protection systems. Each room is served by a voice alarm and public address system.

Two FAAST units protect the basement areas, with a third covering the full‑height atrium.
