Why Fire Alarm Maintenance Is Essential

Regular fire alarm maintenance is not just best practice — for most commercial premises it is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. A properly maintained system protects lives, maintains compliance and reduces false alarms.

  • Legal responsibility under UK fire safety regulations
  • Early fault detection before systems fail
  • Reduced false alarms and unnecessary disruptions
  • Insurance compliance — many insurers require documented maintenance
  • Life safety — your system must work when it matters most

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a fire alarm be serviced?+
BS 5839 recommends a minimum of one service visit per year for domestic properties and two visits per year for commercial premises. In addition, a responsible person should carry out weekly alarm tests on site.
What certificate do I get after maintenance?+
After every maintenance visit we issue a BS5839 inspection certificate (sometimes called a fire alarm service report), which documents all tests carried out, the condition of the system, and any remedial actions required. This is often required by insurers and building managers.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?+
Yes. We offer planned preventative maintenance (PPM) contracts on an annual or bi-annual basis. Contracts include priority call-out response and discounted repair rates.
Can you service a system that's overdue for maintenance?+
Yes. We'll carry out a full assessment of the system, bring it back into compliance and advise on any remedial work needed — with no obligation to replace equipment unless required.
