Warehouse Property Services
Guardian Edge supports warehouse and distribution property across the UK — high-bay storage, racking-dense environments and large single-volume buildings where conventional detection and standard maintenance approaches do not translate.
What makes this sector different
The pressures on warehousing property
Sector-specific risks
- High storage density and fire loading concentrated in one volume
- Racking obstructing detection, sprinkler coverage and escape routes
- Battery charging areas for MHE, increasingly with lithium-ion
Typical property challenges
- Roof heights that make standard point detection and maintenance access difficult
- 24-hour operation leaving no natural downtime
- Large roof and yard areas needing planned rather than reactive attention
Compliance pressures
- Fire risk assessment reflecting actual storage configuration
- Escape route travel distances in large open volumes
- Emergency lighting across very large floor areas
Business continuity
- Any stoppage interrupts a supply chain rather than a single site
- Loading door and dock leveller failures halt operations
By discipline
What that means in practice
Fire requirements
- Beam or aspirating detection where point detection is impractical
- Extinguisher provision at charging areas and plant
- Compartmentation between warehouse, offices and plant
Security concerns
- Perimeter and yard CCTV with ANPR on vehicle entrances
- Access control across shifts and driver access
Maintenance requirements
- Roof and gutter maintenance planned rather than reactive
- Yard drainage and surfacing
- Loading equipment servicing
Multi-site
Running more than one of these
The difficulty in this sector is rarely a single building. It is holding a consistent position across all of them.
