How Often Should Fire Alarms Be Maintained?

BS 5839 requires fire alarm systems to receive professional maintenance at least every six months, with some high-risk premises requiring quarterly visits. We assess your building type, occupancy, and system complexity to recommend the appropriate maintenance frequency.

Between professional visits, responsible persons must carry out weekly testing of the fire alarm system. We provide guidance on these routine checks and can arrange fault diagnosis if problems arise between maintenance visits.

What Happens During a Maintenance Visit?

Each maintenance visit follows a structured inspection programme covering all system components. We test detection devices, check control panel functions, verify sounder operation, and inspect cable routes and connections for signs of damage or deterioration.

Our engineers update system records, replace faulty components, and provide detailed reports showing compliance status. Any issues requiring attention are highlighted with recommendations for remedial work or system upgrades.

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 specifications. Our first maintenance visit includes a thorough system survey to establish current condition and compliance status.

For older systems where documentation is incomplete, we can reverse-engineer system layouts and create new maintenance records. This is particularly useful when taking over maintenance contracts from previous providers or following system installation by companies no longer trading.
