How Often Should Fire Alarms Be Maintained?

BS 5839-1:2017 requires fire alarm systems to receive professional maintenance at least every six months, with some components needing more frequent attention. Weekly user testing should be carried out by building staff, whilst our engineers handle the technical inspections, cleaning and calibration work that keeps systems operating effectively.

What Happens If Our System Fails Inspection?

When fire alarm systems fail their routine inspections, we provide immediate failed inspection support to identify and resolve the underlying issues. Our engineers can diagnose faults quickly and recommend the most cost-effective repairs or upgrades needed to restore compliance.

Can You Help With Ongoing System Problems?

Persistent false alarms, intermittent faults and unexplained system behaviour all indicate underlying maintenance issues that need professional attention. Our fault diagnosis service identifies the root causes of system problems, whether they stem from environmental factors, component wear or installation defects.

Do You Maintain Systems You Didn't Install?

We maintain fire alarm systems regardless of who originally installed them, provided they meet current safety standards. Our engineers are familiar with equipment from all major manufacturers and can take over maintenance contracts from other providers. Where systems need upgrading to meet modern standards, we can discuss system installation options that work within your budget and operational requirements.
