How Often Should Fire Alarms Be Maintained?

BS 5839-1:2017 requires fire alarm systems to receive professional maintenance at least twice per year. Most commercial systems benefit from quarterly maintenance visits to ensure optimal performance and reduce false alarm incidents.

We can schedule maintenance visits to suit your operational requirements, including out-of-hours servicing for 24-hour facilities. Our maintenance contracts include all routine testing, cleaning, and minor component replacements needed to keep systems compliant.

What Happens During a Maintenance Visit?

Our engineers test all fire detection devices, check control panel functions, and verify alarm transmission to monitoring centres. We clean detector heads, inspect wiring connections, and test backup power supplies to ensure reliable operation.

Each visit includes functional testing of manual call points, sounder circuits, and any interface connections to building management systems. We provide detailed maintenance certificates and highlight any issues requiring attention before the next service.

Can You Maintain Systems Installed by Other Companies?

We maintain fire alarm systems regardless of the original installer, provided we can access technical documentation and system programming details. Our engineers work with all major fire alarm manufacturers and can take over existing maintenance contracts.

If your current system requires upgrades or has recurring faults, we can provide fault diagnosis services alongside maintenance to identify underlying issues. Where systems need replacement, we can arrange system installation with minimal disruption to your operations.

Emergency Support and Response

Our maintenance contracts include emergency callout support for urgent system faults that could compromise fire safety. We respond to alarm system failures, detector faults, and control panel problems that require immediate attention.

Emergency support covers fault finding, temporary repairs, and system isolation where necessary to maintain building safety. We carry common spare parts and can arrange urgent component delivery for specialist equipment repairs.
