Cornwall's Local Fire & Security Engineers — Right on Your Doorstep
Helston is our home patch. Mitch Clementson — MC Fire & Security's founder — runs the business out of Praze An Beeble, less than 5 minutes from Helston town centre, and has spent his career fitting fire and security systems across this corner of West Cornwall.
We know the specific challenges of the area. We navigate the conservation area around Coinagehall Street and Meneage Street with listed-building considerations for cabling and panel placement. We secure the residential streets running off Cross Street and the granite-walled farms across Wendron and Sithney parish. We understand the coastal exposure for properties at Porthleven, Gunwalloe and Mullion, factoring in salt-air corrosion considerations on outdoor cameras.
We treat the village clusters at Breage, Mawgan, Cury and Crowntown as part of our core Helston job catchment, operating right across the TR13 postcode, with the National Trust land at Penrose Estate and Loe Pool as our local backdrop.
Whether you're a Helston town-centre business, a Wendron farm, or a holiday let on the Lizard fringe, we'll quote, fit and maintain the same way — properly, to the right BS standard, first time.

Helston Fire & Security FAQs
Do you cover Porthleven, Mullion and Gunwalloe as well as central Helston?
Yes — we treat Porthleven, Mullion, Gunwalloe, Cury, Mawgan, Sithney, Wendron, Breage and the surrounding TR13 villages as part of our Helston catchment. They're all within 15 minutes of our Praze An Beeble base.
How quickly can you get to a Helston property from your base?
5 minutes to central Helston, 10-15 minutes to the surrounding parishes. For emergency call-outs (fire alarm fault, intruder alarm activation), we aim to be on-site within 30 minutes of the call across the whole TR13 area.
Are you familiar with installing fire alarms and CCTV in listed buildings around Coinagehall Street and Meneage?
Yes — we work in the Helston conservation area regularly. We use sympathetic cable routing, conceal panels where possible, and choose finishes that don't compromise heritage features. We can also liaise with Cornwall Council's conservation officer if your property requires it.
Can you handle salt-air conditions on coastal CCTV cameras at Porthleven and Gunwalloe?
Yes — we use IP66/IP67-rated, marine-grade housings on coastal installs. Salt-air corrosion is the single biggest reason coastal cameras fail prematurely; we spec cameras and brackets to outlast it, and recommend a 6-monthly service to clean and check for early salt damage.
