How Often Should Fire Alarms Be Maintained?

BS 5839-1:2017 requires fire alarm systems to receive regular maintenance based on system complexity and building risk. Most commercial systems need quarterly maintenance visits, with weekly user testing and monthly alarm sounders checks carried out by building staff. We can advise on the correct maintenance frequency for your specific system and building type.

What Happens If My System Fails Inspection?

If your fire alarm system fails an inspection or develops faults between maintenance visits, we provide failed inspection support to get you back to compliance quickly. Our engineers can diagnose issues, source replacement parts, and carry out remedial work to address inspection failures and restore full system operation.

Can You Take Over Existing Maintenance Contracts?

We regularly take over maintenance contracts from other providers, often improving service levels and reducing costs. Our engineers will survey your existing system, review previous maintenance records, and identify any outstanding issues before taking responsibility. We can also provide fault diagnosis services if you're experiencing problems with your current maintenance provider.

Do You Maintain Systems You Didn't Install?

We maintain fire alarm systems regardless of who installed them originally. Our engineers work with equipment from all major manufacturers and can quickly familiarise themselves with your system configuration. If your system needs upgrading or expanding, we can discuss options during maintenance visits and provide quotes for system installation work.
