Hello to Howler: A Quick Introduction

The Howler team outside the Wimborne office

We’re a temporary fire safety company built on real people, aiming to make your life easier through the delivery of safe, simple and sustainable fire safety solutions. Navigating fire safety compliance requirements has never been more challenging – our proven processes lead you through this with confidence, without wasting time.

For over 40 years we’ve been protecting lives and livelihoods from the impact of fire. Our specialism in temporary fire safety started when we created the world’s first battery-operated site alarm, built specifically for construction sites. Named after the world’s loudest creature, the howler monkey, we continue to make a big noise about fire safety.

Design, supply, maintain

Howler is more than a supplier – we’re your fire safety partner. We work alongside contractors as a dedicated fire safety subcontractor, taking responsibility for the design, installation, and ongoing maintenance of temporary fire safety systems. From pre-construction through to project completion, we make sure your site stays protected, compliant, and fully supported.

  • Design — marked-up drawings tailored to your site, designed in line with JCoP, HSG168, and BS 5839-1
  • Supply — ProLink® wireless fire alarm systems, SafetyHub® fire safety points, extinguishers and supporting equipment
  • Maintain — installation, commissioning, ongoing maintenance, and end-of-project removal
Why this approach matters

Fire alarm systems are life safety systems, not just another site utility. There’s increasing demand to evidence competency around fire safety — which is why working with a specialist holding the relevant third-party accreditation matters.

We’re BAFE accredited, deliver fully compliant system design, and provide nationwide support.

You deliver the project. We take care of fire safety.
