Frequently Asked Questions

About Commercial Fire Alarm Maintenance

How often does my fire alarm need servicing?

Commercial fire alarms should be professionally serviced at least every six months, in line with BS 5839-1:2025 recommendations. Regular maintenance ensures your system operates reliably, detects hazards quickly, and stays fully compliant with current UK fire safety regulations.

What happens if I miss a service?

Missing scheduled fire alarm maintenance can put your premises, employees, and visitors at serious risk. Non-compliance with fire safety law could lead to legal action, and insurers may refuse claims if your system isn't properly maintained. Routine servicing helps reduce these risks while ensuring your system remains operational and effective.

Can you maintain systems installed by another provider?

Yes. Our BAFE-certified engineers are trained to service and maintain a wide range of commercial fire alarm systems, even if we didn't install them. This guarantees ongoing protection, compliance, and peace of mind regardless of the original installer.

Do you provide documentation for compliance?

Yes. Every maintenance visit comes with a full service report and updated logbook entries, demonstrating compliance with BS 5839-1:2025. These records provide reassurance to insurers, auditors, and business owners that your fire safety systems are correctly maintained.
