Below are answers to the most common fire alarm servicing and maintenance questions from our clients.
1. How often should fire alarm systems be serviced?
Most commercial fire alarm systems should be serviced at least twice per year in line with recommended guidance. However, some premises may require more frequent maintenance depending on building use, occupancy levels, system complexity and associated fire risks.
2. What does BAFE SP203-1 accreditation demonstrate?
BAFE SP203-1 is a recognised third-party certification scheme that confirms a company’s competence in fire alarm system work. Choosing an accredited provider provides reassurance that servicing is delivered to recognised professional standards.
3. What checks should be completed between servicing visits?
In addition to scheduled servicing, BS 5306 recommends routine user checks. The control panel should be inspected daily for faults, and manual call points should be tested weekly, with results recorded clearly in a log book.
4. Is out-of-hours support available if needed?
For customers with a servicing agreement in place, a 24 hour call-out service is available. Initial support can often be provided remotely, with an engineer attending site where necessary within agreed response times.
5. What are common causes of false alarms?
False alarms can be caused by dust, steam, cooking fumes, aerosols, insects entering detectors or faults within the system, as well as accidental activation of manual call points or other devices.
6. Will servicing affect normal business operations?
Testing may involve activating alarm sounders and accessing devices throughout the premises. Our engineers plan visits carefully and work with site contacts to minimise disruption to staff, customers and daily operations.
