I am a qualified Electrician who use to work for a Electrical and Security company who use to also do fire, I use to install the fire systems but not design or certify them (as I explained!) I also use to install E.L units, but again have never been involved in the maintenance of them.

I started my own company about a year ago doing Electrical, Security & IT. This is my first request to do a fire system, and now I'm on my own the entire system is down to me, not just the installation.
