How Often Should Fire Alarms Be Maintained?

BS 5839 requires fire alarm systems to receive professional maintenance at least twice yearly, with additional weekly and monthly checks performed by the building occupier. We typically recommend quarterly maintenance visits for complex commercial systems, as this provides better fault prevention and reduces the risk of system failures between visits.

High-risk premises such as healthcare facilities or buildings with sleeping accommodation may require more frequent maintenance. We assess your specific requirements during the initial survey and recommend an appropriate maintenance frequency based on system complexity, building use, and regulatory requirements.

What Happens If Our System Fails Inspection?

System faults discovered during maintenance are prioritised based on their impact on fire safety. Critical faults affecting detection capability receive immediate attention, whilst minor issues can often be scheduled for the next planned visit. We provide failed inspection support when regulatory inspections identify maintenance deficiencies.

Our engineers carry diagnostic equipment to identify fault locations quickly, reducing system downtime. Where immediate repairs are needed, we can often source replacement components from our local stock or arrange emergency deliveries for specialist items.

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 codes. Our first maintenance visit includes a thorough system survey to understand the installation layout, component specifications, and any existing issues requiring attention.

Taking over maintenance from another contractor requires careful handover documentation. We review service history, identify any outstanding issues, and establish baseline system performance before implementing our standard maintenance procedures. This ensures continuity of compliance and helps identify any inherited problems early.

What's Included in Emergency Callout Support?

Our emergency support covers urgent system faults that compromise fire detection capability or cause persistent false alarms. We aim to respond to emergency calls within agreed timeframes, with fault diagnosis and temporary solutions provided where immediate repair isn't possible.

Emergency callouts complement our planned maintenance programme but don't replace the need for routine servicing. Regular maintenance prevents most emergency situations by identifying potential problems before they cause system failures. We provide 24-hour emergency contact details to all maintenance contract customers.
