We inspect,service, maintain and repair all sizes and types of fire alarm systems commonly in use today to BS 5389.
Fire Alarm Commissioning
New fire alarm systems commissioned and certified.
Will your fire alarm work in the event of a fire?
BS 5839 states that all Fire Alarm panels must be inspected daily by a responsible person
(the client) and all fire alarm systems must be inspected and serviced at intervals of
between 3 - 6 months (depending on your business type) by a suitable person/ company.
This periodic inspection and servicing needs to be carried out by a competent person with
specialist knowledge of fire detection and fire alarm systems.
The responsible person is also required to perform and document a weekly test of manual call
points to ensure that they operate correctly.
The results of these tests must be logged in the alarm logbook and these records must be
made available for inspection where requested by the relevant authorities.
BS 5839-8:2013 also states that if the alarm is not tested at these intervals - the system is not
regarded as compliant.
We service and maintain most models and makes of alarms in use today.
