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. We schedule maintenance visits based on your system type, building use and regulatory requirements, ensuring you never miss a compliance deadline.

Between professional maintenance visits, your staff should carry out weekly fire alarm tests and monthly visual inspections. We can provide training and logbook templates to help your team maintain accurate records and spot potential issues before they become serious faults.

What Happens If My Fire Alarm Fails Its Inspection?

Fire alarm systems can fail inspections due to component faults, outdated equipment or inadequate maintenance records. We provide failed inspection support to identify and resolve compliance issues quickly, working with fire risk assessors and building control officers to get your certification back on track.

Common failure points include faulty detection devices, expired batteries, damaged cables and incomplete documentation. Our engineers can diagnose these issues during maintenance visits and arrange repairs or upgrades before they affect your compliance status.

Can You Maintain Systems Installed by Other Contractors?

We maintain fire alarm systems regardless of who installed them originally. Our engineers are trained across all major manufacturers and can source replacement components for older systems that may no longer be in production.

When we take over maintenance from another contractor, we carry out a full system assessment to understand the current condition and identify any immediate compliance concerns. This handover process ensures continuity of service and helps us plan future maintenance requirements effectively.

What's Included in Emergency Callout Support?

Our maintenance contracts include emergency callout support for urgent faults that could compromise fire safety or trigger false alarms. We respond to system failures, detector faults and control panel errors that occur between scheduled maintenance visits.

Emergency support covers fault diagnosis, temporary repairs and system isolation where necessary to maintain building safety. For complex faults requiring specialist components or extensive repairs, we can arrange routine servicing or coordinate with our installation team for system upgrades.
