Fire alarm panel relocation problem

Just been to look at a fire alarm job and would like your opinion on how you would do it.
They want the fire alarm panel moving down the wall by about 3 foot.View attachment 37724

It would need to be mounted underneath the nurse call system as the care workers have to get on a chair to reset it.
The wall is a studded partition and the wires terminate in the back using pyro for the bells and ordinary cable for the detectors.
I was thinking along the lines of ,take of the panel,run new wires up the partition behind the nurse call using firetuff type cable for all the wiring.Then mount a steel box where the existing cables are and joint everything in there.Seal round the box and at the back with fire sealant.Refit panel on new wires at lower level.
If anyone can think of a better way then i would love to hear your opinions.The floor above is inaccessible so i cannot pull the wires back up to joint.
Regards
Bob.

Cut all the cables move the panel add a 9V battery so the "Alarmed" light is lit and do a runner.

Take the air freshener with you as well...........

If we are mostly in agreement on how to do it then here comes the question of how much.I would allow a day to do it knowing that getting cables up studding(around existing nurse call wires is not going to be easy).Include the cost of the cables,joints,sealant, then i would have thought around the £300 mark?
