How Often Should Fire Alarms Be Maintained?

BS 5839-1:2017 requires fire alarm systems to be serviced every six months by a competent person. We provide scheduled maintenance visits that include full system testing, component inspection and detailed reporting to keep your systems compliant and operational.

Between formal maintenance visits, we recommend weekly user tests and monthly extended tests as outlined in your fire safety logbook. Our engineers can provide training on these routine checks and support with failed inspection support if issues arise.

What Happens During a Maintenance Visit?

Each maintenance visit follows a structured programme that covers all system components and functions. We test detection circuits, check battery backup systems, verify cause and effect programming and inspect all visible components for signs of damage or deterioration.

Our engineers complete detailed maintenance records and provide recommendations for any remedial work needed. We can arrange routine servicing or repairs as part of our ongoing support, ensuring your systems remain fully operational between visits.

What If My Fire Alarm System Develops a Fault?

Fire alarm faults can occur between maintenance visits and require prompt attention to maintain system integrity. Common issues include detector contamination, wiring faults, battery failures and control panel errors that can compromise system operation.

We provide emergency callout services for urgent faults and can arrange fault diagnosis to identify and resolve system problems quickly. Our engineers carry common replacement parts and can often resolve faults during the initial visit.
