We can arrange ongoing maintenance contracts to keep your system inspection-ready year-round.

How long does fire alarm installation take?

Installation timescales depend on building size, system complexity, and access requirements. A typical office installation might take 2-3 days, while larger warehouses or multi-floor buildings require 1-2 weeks. We provide detailed project timelines during the design phase and can work around your operational requirements to minimise disruption.

Do you handle failed inspection issues?

Yes, we provide failed inspection support for buildings where existing systems don't meet current standards. This often involves upgrading detection coverage, replacing obsolete panels, or adding missing components to achieve BS 5839 compliance. We can also provide emergency fault diagnosis if your system develops problems before or after inspection.

What certification do you provide after installation?

Every installation includes a full commissioning certificate confirming BS 5839-1:2017 compliance, detailed system documentation, operation and maintenance manuals, and a detailed handover meeting. We also provide ongoing certification support through our maintenance contracts, ensuring your system remains compliant between annual inspections.

Can you work with our existing contractors?

We regularly coordinate with electrical contractors, building services engineers, and main contractors on refurbishment and new-build projects. Our engineers can integrate fire alarm installation with broader electrical work, ensuring proper earthing, supply arrangements, and interface connections while maintaining clear responsibility boundaries for compliance purposes.
