Fire & Security Services in St Ives
MC Fire and Security provides fire alarm, CCTV, and security system installation across St Ives. This is one of Cornwall's most popular tourist towns — Tate St Ives, the harbour, the galleries, and the narrow streets packed with holiday lets, restaurants, and high-value properties. Most of St Ives' economy runs on tourism, which means fire safety compliance for hospitality venues and security for properties that sit empty outside peak season. Based in Praze An Beeble near Helston, Mitch is around 25 minutes from St Ives.

Learn moreWhy Choose MC Fire for St Ives?
St Ives has a lot of older buildings, narrow streets, and conservation area restrictions. That means installations need to be done carefully — discreet camera placement, cable routing that respects the building fabric, and fire alarm systems that work with the property rather than against it. MC Fire and Security has experience working with these types of properties across Cornwall.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you install CCTV on a listed building in St Ives?
- Yes, but it needs to be done carefully. Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas often have restrictions on external fixtures. We use discreet cameras and careful cable routing to minimise visual impact. Mitch will assess your property and advise on the best approach during a free site survey. Call 07498 819185.
- What fire alarm system does my holiday let in St Ives need?
- Holiday lets need fire alarm systems that meet BS 5839-6, plus emergency lighting and fire extinguishers. The exact grade depends on the property layout and how many guests it sleeps. Getting this wrong can mean failed safety inspections and lost bookings. Mitch will survey your property and specify exactly what's needed. Call 07498 819185.
- Do galleries and retail spaces in St Ives need fire extinguishers?
- Yes. All commercial premises need fire extinguishers appropriate to the fire risks present, serviced annually to BS 5306. Galleries with high-value artwork may also benefit from CCTV and intruder alarm systems. MC Fire and Security can provide the full package. Call 07498 819185 for a free site survey.
- How do you handle installation in St Ives' narrow streets?
- Mitch is used to working in tight spaces and properties with limited access. Parking in St Ives can be tricky, but that's a logistics issue we manage — it doesn't affect the quality of the installation. We'll plan the job around access restrictions and work efficiently to minimise disruption.
