Fire Alarm Servicing & Maintenance
Fire safety systems rely on regular inspection and care to remain dependable. Planned servicing and ongoing maintenance ensure that systems continue to operate correctly, support safe evacuation, and provide confidence that protection is always in place.
✓
Weekly Testing
The 'Responsible Person' must perform a weekly test by activating a different manual call point each week to ensure the alarm sounds and the panel receives the signal.
✓
Daily Visual Checks
Ensure the control panel indicates 'Normal' status and that any faults reported the previous day have been addressed by a technician.
✓
System Logbook Upkeep
Maintain an accurate logbook recording all tests, false alarms, faults, and management visits as required by BS 5839 standards.
✓
Clear Access
Ensure all manual call points and detectors remain unobstructed by furniture, stock, or building modifications.
