"I'm Mitch, and I started MC Fire & Security because I'd seen too many systems fail at the worst possible moment.

I trained as a fire and security engineer in my early twenties. For years I worked for bigger Cornwall firms — installing alarms, commissioning CCTV, signing the logbooks. The pattern I kept seeing wasn't bad engineering. It was bad ownership. The engineer who installed the system wasn't the one who serviced it. The person on the phone wasn't the one who'd actually walked the site. Somewhere between sales and installation, things got lost.

So I went solo. I quote every job myself. I install every job myself. I commission every panel, document every device against the BS 5839 zone plan, and hand you a logbook your insurer will recognise. When you ring me six months later because the panel is beeping, you get me — not a call centre, not a different engineer who's never seen your building.

The way I see it: a fire alarm or an intruder system isn't a product. It's a promise that the day something goes wrong, it works. The only way to keep that promise is for one person to own the whole job — survey, design, install, commission, service, and the conversation a year later when something needs adjusting.

We're British Fire Consortium members because the BFC is the one accreditation body in this trade that actually verifies BS-standards knowledge across fire AND security. I work to BS 5839-1:2025 for commercial fire alarms, BS 5839-6:2020 for domestic, BS EN 62676 for CCTV, BS EN 50131 for intruder, BS EN 50133 for access control, BS 5266-1 for emergency lighting, and BS 5306-3 for extinguisher servicing.

If you're reading this, you're probably weighing us up against bigger Cornwall firms. The honest pitch is: you'll get a smaller team, the same engineer every visit, the same standards, and a 5.0★ Google rating from 36 customers who've had us back more than once. Book a free survey — I'll come out, walk your property, and tell you what you actually need. No sales pressure, no obligation."

Accreditations & Standards

Our British Fire Consortium membership and the BS standards we work to aren't just badges — they're what your insurer, your fire risk assessor, and your local Fire Authority will check if something goes wrong. Every system we install is delivered to its current British Standard, and every service visit is logged against that standard.
