Systematic fire alarm maintenance and straightforward reporting
Regular fire alarm servicing helps identify faults, damaged devices, power supply issues and equipment that may not respond as intended. A suitable maintenance programme should reflect your system, building and fire risk arrangements.
We can work with responsible persons, landlords and site managers to schedule visits, investigate reported faults and document findings. Alterations and repairs are discussed before work proceeds.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How often should a commercial fire alarm be serviced?
Servicing frequency depends on the system, fire risk assessment and maintenance arrangements. BS 5839-1 provides recommendations for non-domestic fire detection and alarm systems, alongside routine user checks. We can review the requirements for your premises.
Can you investigate repeated fire alarm faults?
Yes. Let us know the panel model, what the display shows and when the faults occur so we can plan an appropriate investigation.
Do you service every fire alarm brand?
System support depends on the panel, required programming access, spare parts and specialist manufacturer tools. We will confirm suitability for your system before booking.
Will the alarm sound during a service?
Some checks involve operating sounders or activation devices. We will coordinate testing arrangements with the responsible person and occupants.
