MAINTENANCE THAT KEEPS YOU COMPLIANT

Reliable Fire Alarm Maintenance Services


A fire alarm is not a fit-and-forget solution. Without routine maintenance, faults can go unnoticed and devices can drift out of tolerance, putting your compliance at risk.

We help keep your fire alarm systems reliable while meeting your legal responsibilities. We take the time to understand your building and how it operates, so maintenance visits are efficient and minimally disruptive to your day-to-day operations.

OUR FIRE ALARM MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST

What Our Fire Alarm Maintenance Package Includes


Our fire alarm maintenance visits are carried out by trained engineers, using a tried-and-tested checklist.

  • Inspection and testing of detectors call points and sounders
  • Visual checks of cabling fixings and devices
  • Fire alarm control panel checks and fault log review
  • Battery condition and capacity checks
  • Verification of interfaces such as door releases 
  • Review of system to ensure it still meets fire risk strategy assessment

These checks align with other recognised fire alarm maintenance checklists and BS 5839 guidance.

PROOF YOUR SYSTEM IS BEING MAINTAINED CORRECTLY

Clear Records for Compliance


After each maintenance visit, you receive clear documentation confirming what has been tested and any actions required. This forms part of your fire safety records and provides evidence of ongoing compliance.

We schedule visits in advance and work around your day-to-day operations including out-of-hours servicing where required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need Answers Before You Get Started?


How often does a fire alarm need to be maintained?

Most commercial fire alarm systems require maintenance every six months. Current guidance allows a five to seven month window depending on risk and system type.

What is included in a fire alarm maintenance visit?

If you subscribe to our fire alarm maintenance package, we will regularly service your systems – including testing detectors and call points, checking the control panel, batteries, interfaces and reviewing system performance.

Do you maintain systems you didn't install?

Yes, we will provide maintenance for fire alarm systems installed by other contractors, provided the system meets current standards.

Do you offer 24 hour callout support?

Yes, we provide 24 hour callout availability for clients who require ongoing support.

Will maintenance disrupt normal building operations?

Testing may involve sounding alarms, but visits are planned carefully to minimise disruption and avoid unnecessary downtime.

If any part of the system needs to be isolated temporarily we advise on suitable compensatory measures. This will help keep you covered from both a compliance and insurance perspective.

Can you take over maintenance from another provider?

Yes, many clients move to us due to poor communication, missed faults or recurring false alarms with previous maintenance providers.
