When You Need Professional Fire Safety Support

Meeting Your Legal Obligations

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places legal duties on responsible persons to ensure adequate fire detection and warning systems. This includes conducting fire risk assessments, maintaining systems in working order and keeping proper records.

Fire alarm systems must be designed, installed and maintained to BS 5839-1 standards. The responsible person must ensure regular testing, servicing and any necessary repairs are carried out by competent persons with appropriate qualifications.

Local fire and rescue authorities enforce fire safety legislation and can issue enforcement notices, prohibition notices or prosecute for serious breaches. They have powers to inspect premises and require evidence of compliance.

Proper documentation is essential to demonstrate compliance during inspections or insurance claims. This includes risk assessments, system certificates, maintenance records and evidence that the responsible person has fulfilled their duties.

• Fire alarm system commissioning certificates and as-fitted drawings
• BS 5839-1 compliance certificates and zone charts
• Operation and maintenance manuals with testing procedures
• Service visit reports and remedial action records
• Weekly, monthly and annual test logbooks with fault records

We provide all necessary documentation and certification to help responsible persons demonstrate compliance with fire safety legislation. Our engineers are qualified to carry out work to the required standards and provide the evidence needed for regulatory and insurance purposes.

Our accreditations demonstrate our competence and commitment to professional standards. These certifications are recognised by insurers, fire authorities and procurement teams as evidence of technical capability and quality assurance.

Fire Safety Questions Answered

• How often should fire alarms be tested?

  Fire alarm systems require weekly testing of different zones, monthly testing of all detection points and annual full system testing by a competent person. We provide logbooks and can arrange regular testing programmes to meet BS 5839-1 requirements.

• What happens if my fire alarm fails an inspection?

  Failed inspections require immediate remedial action to address identified defects. We can assess the issues, provide quotations for necessary repairs or upgrades and complete the work with proper certification to satisfy the enforcing authority.

• Do I need to upgrade my old fire alarm system?

  Older systems may not meet current standards or have obsolete parts that are difficult to maintain. We can assess your existing system and advise whether repairs, partial upgrades or complete replacement would be most cost-effective.

• How much does fire alarm maintenance cost?

  Maintenance costs depend on system size, complexity and visit frequency. We provide fixed-price annual contracts that include all routine servicing, testing and minor repairs with transparent pricing and no hidden charges.

• Can you service fire alarms installed by other companies?

  Yes, we service and maintain fire alarm systems regardless of the original installer. We can take over existing maintenance contracts and provide the same level of service and documentation as for our own installations.

  You need commissioning certificates, as-fitted drawings, operation manuals, service records and test logbooks. We provide complete documentation packages and can help organise existing records to demonstrate compliance with fire safety legislation.

• How quickly can you respond to fire alarm emergencies?

  We aim to respond to emergency calls within four hours during normal working hours. For critical systems, we can arrange priority response services and provide temporary measures to maintain fire safety while repairs are completed.
