Advanced Fire Security with Our Aspirating Smoke Detection System
When every second counts, early detection matters. At Controlled, we offer a high-performance aspirating smoke detection system that identifies smoke particles before they’re visible or before standard detectors would even react.
Unlike conventional detectors that wait for smoke to reach them, our system actively draws air through a network of discreet sampling pipes into a central detection chamber. This constant air sampling enables ultra-early warnings and accurate detection, even in challenging or contamination-prone spaces.
Our systems are trusted in sensitive areas such as data centres, cleanrooms, warehouses, museums, and heritage buildings. They are designed for consistent, reliable performance across all kinds of environments.
As a leading fire alarm system supplier, Controlled provides fully tailored solutions. We ensure each fire and smoke detection system integrates seamlessly with your fire alarm setup, building management system (BMS), or remote monitoring tools. The result is a solution that’s fast, adaptable, and built to keep your property and people safe.

FAQs about Aspirating Smoke Detection Systems
What is an aspirated smoke detection system?
An aspirating smoke detection system is a highly sensitive fire detection method. It draws air continuously through a network of small sampling pipes and analyses it in a detection chamber to identify smoke at the earliest stage, often before it’s visible.
How does it differ from standard smoke detectors?
Traditional smoke detectors react only when smoke reaches them. Aspirating systems actively sample the air, detecting much earlier. This proactive approach also reduces false alarms, especially in areas with airflow, dust, or contamination.
Can the system integrate with our existing fire alarm system?
Yes. Our aspirating systems integrate seamlessly with your current fire alarm system, building management systems (BMS), and third-party alert platforms, making it easy to manage everything in one place.
Are aspirating smoke detection systems suitable for high-ceiling or large open areas?
Absolutely. Aspirating smoke detection works exceptionally well in spaces with high ceilings or open layouts, where conventional smoke detectors may not be effective or fast enough.
How reliable is aspirating smoke detection in harsh conditions?
These systems are built to perform in challenging environments, including areas with high dust levels, varying temperatures, or strong ventilation. Their filtration technology ensures accurate readings with minimal maintenance.
Do aspirated smoke detection systems require regular servicing or maintenance?
While aspirating smoke detection systems are low-maintenance compared to traditional options, regular servicing by trained professionals is still recommended to ensure peak performance and compliance with fire safety regulations.
Are these systems compliant with UK fire safety standards?
Yes. All our aspirating smoke detection systems are fully compliant with British Standards and industry regulations, including BS 5839, ensuring your site meets legal fire safety requirements.
