Centurion installs fire alarms, warehouse CCTV and access control for distribution centres, depots and logistics sites. NSI Gold accredited, with systems maintained to BS 5839-1.
About this sector
Transport and distribution sites face complex fire and security demands. High-bay warehouses, loading bays and vehicle yards create wide-area detection zones, while 24-hour operations compress maintenance windows and require systems that perform without interruption.
Centurion has worked across logistics and distribution for over a decade, covering warehouse fire alarm upgrades, multi-site CCTV rollouts and Paxton access control installations. Clients range from regional single-depot operators to national distribution businesses with multiple sites, all requiring consistent standards and centralised compliance records.
Centurion engineers work on live depots, coordinating installation and maintenance around shift patterns and haulage schedules. Systems are commissioned without disrupting throughput, with full documentation for insurers and compliance sign-off.

What we provide
Every system is designed around your site's compliance requirements, operational constraints and risk profile - not a generic specification.
From high-bay warehouse detection to loading dock smoke and heat systems, Centurion designs and installs BS 5839-1 compliant fire alarms across all areas of distribution sites. Ongoing maintenance contracts keep systems operational through 24-hour shift cycles.

LEARN MORE →Why this sector is different
High-bay racking, goods-in areas, loading docks and offices each need their own detection and access strategy, integrated into one coherent site-wide system.
Maintenance and installation works are coordinated around live shift patterns. Centurion engineers plan works to keep throughput unaffected throughout.
CCTV and access control protect high-value goods in transit and storage without creating bottlenecks at goods-in and vehicle yard entry points.
Sites handling fuel, aerosols or flammable goods require ATEX-rated detection and installation. Centurion has the certification and the experience.
Distribution operators with multiple sites need one contractor, one specification and centralised compliance records across every location.
