We provide professional Fire Alarm Servicing for property owners, landlords, businesses and organisations, helping you keep fire detection and alarm systems properly inspected, tested and maintained.
Our servicing helps identify faults, damage and other issues that could affect the operation of your fire alarm system, providing clear records and certification to support your wider fire safety and compliance responsibilities.
Whether you manage a single property or a larger portfolio, we provide a practical and consistent service to help keep your buildings and the people who use them safe.
Fire Alarm Servicing is the inspection, testing and maintenance of a property’s fire detection and alarm system to help ensure it remains in effective working order.
Depending on the system installed, servicing can include checks of:
• Fire alarm control and indicating equipment
• Automatic fire detectors
• Manual call points
• Sounders and visual alarm devices
• Batteries and power supplies
• Other relevant fire alarm system components
Regular inspection and testing can help identify faults, damage, contamination, battery problems and other issues that could affect the operation of the system.
The type of fire alarm system and servicing requirements will depend on factors such as the building, its use, occupancy, fire strategy and fire risk assessment.
A properly maintained fire alarm system can provide an early warning of fire, giving people more time to respond and evacuate safely.
For property owners, landlords, facilities managers and organisations responsible for buildings, appropriate fire alarm servicing can help you:
• Identify faults and potential problems before they affect system performance
• Maintain reliable fire detection and warning
• Reduce the risk of system failure
• Keep clear records of inspection, testing and maintenance
• Support your wider fire safety responsibilities
• Demonstrate that appropriate maintenance is being carried out
• Identify remedial work that may be required
• Maintain consistent fire safety arrangements across a property portfolio
Fire alarm servicing should form part of your wider fire safety management arrangements, alongside the appropriate Fire Risk Assessment, emergency lighting and other fire safety measures.
For organisations managing multiple properties, a structured servicing programme can also make it easier to monitor systems, keep track of servicing dates and maintain clear compliance records.
We provide Fire Alarm Servicing across a wide range of properties and facilities, including residential properties, supported accommodation, offices, schools and educational facilities, retail and commercial premises, and larger property portfolios.
Our Fire Alarm Servicing is carried out with reference to applicable fire safety legislation, British Standards and guidance, including:
• Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
• Fire Safety Act 2021
• Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
• BS 5839-1:2025
• BS 5839-6:2019+A1:2020
The specific standards and maintenance arrangements that apply will depend on the type, use and configuration of the building and its fire alarm system.
Requirements also vary across the UK, so the legislation applicable to your property will depend on its location.
Best to get in touch and our team can help you understand the appropriate fire alarm inspection and servicing requirements for your building.

Where a fire alarm system is provided as part of a property’s fire safety arrangements, it needs to be appropriately maintained.
For premises covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, relevant fire safety measures must be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.
The specific servicing and maintenance arrangements will depend on the property, its fire safety arrangements and the type of fire alarm system installed.
For most non-domestic fire alarm systems, professional inspection and servicing should be carried out at intervals of no more than six months, in line with BS 5839-1 and the requirements of the building’s fire safety arrangements. The exact servicing frequency should be determined by the type of system, the building and the level of risk.
This is separate from the routine weekly fire alarm test, which should normally be carried out by the Responsible Person or a suitably trained person on site. A different manual call point should generally be tested each week, with the results recorded in the fire safety logbook.
Higher-risk premises or systems may require more frequent inspection and servicing, where this is identified through the fire risk assessment or other relevant requirements.
If you’re unsure how often your fire alarm should be serviced, get in touch and we can help you understand the appropriate servicing arrangements for your building.
Any fault identified during servicing should be investigated and appropriate remedial action taken.
Depending on the issue, this may involve repairing or replacing a faulty component or carrying out further investigation to determine the appropriate solution.
Where a fault affects the operation of the fire alarm system, appropriate temporary fire safety measures may also need to be considered while the issue is being resolved.
Yes, potentially. These services address different aspects of fire safety.
A Fire Risk Assessment considers the wider fire risks within a property, including the building, its use, occupancy and the people who may be at risk.
Fire Alarm Servicing focuses specifically on inspecting, testing and maintaining the fire detection and alarm system.
We regularly help organisations manage both as part of their wider property compliance requirements, providing one point of contact for the inspections their buildings need.
Fire Alarm Servicing and Emergency Lighting Servicing cover different systems, but both can form part of your wider fire safety arrangements.
Where emergency lighting is required for your property, it should be appropriately inspected, tested and maintained. We can carry out both services during the same visit, making it easier to manage your compliance and reducing the need to coordinate multiple contractors.
We also offer a 33% discount when Fire Alarm / Smoke Detection Servicing and Emergency Lighting Servicing are carried out at the same time.
Both services are inspected and reported separately, with the appropriate checks carried out for each system.
Yes. We provide Fire Alarm Servicing for individual properties and larger property portfolios.
Whether you manage residential properties, supported accommodation, offices, schools, retail premises or other commercial facilities, we can provide consistent servicing and reporting across your buildings.
For organisations managing multiple properties, we can also help keep servicing dates and records organised through one point of contact.
Our Fire Alarm / Smoke Detection Servicing starts from £120 + VAT.
A 33% discount may apply when fire alarm/smoke detection servicing is carried out at the same time as emergency lighting servicing. All prices are exclusive of VAT. Prices may vary depending on your location, property size, layout and service requirements.
Stagnant water, infrequently used outlets and poorly maintained systems are all it takes for Legionella risk to build up. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and COSHH Regulations, managing that risk is your legal responsibility.
We assess your setup, tell you exactly what needs addressing and give you the documentation to prove you’re on top of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for any non-domestic premises must ensure a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment is in place.
We carry out the full assessment, document the findings clearly and give you a prioritised action plan.
Any building constructed before 2000 is likely to contain asbestos. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, you need a survey before any refurbishment or demolition work starts.
We carry out asbestos management and refurbishment surveys, identify any asbestos-containing materials and give you a clear, legally compliant record.
Identify damp, mould and moisture issues before they become bigger property problems. Our surveys help property owners, landlords, facilities managers and organisations understand the condition of their buildings and document findings clearly.
Our non-intrusive assessments use visual inspection, photographic evidence and appropriate moisture-meter readings to identify potential causes, highlight areas requiring further investigation and recommend appropriate next steps.
We carry out assessments with reference to relevant housing, health and safety legislation and guidance, including the Housing Act 2004 and HHSRS. Where applicable, our surveys can also support organisations in meeting their responsibilities relating to damp and mould, including requirements under Awaab’s Law.
We provide professional Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for property owners, landlords, businesses and organisations, helping you understand the energy efficiency of your buildings and meet applicable requirements.
Our EPC assessments provide an A–G energy efficiency rating and recommendations for potential improvements, giving you a clear picture of your property’s energy performance, potential areas for improvement and the energy-efficiency requirements that may apply.
We provide professional PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing) for property owners, landlords, businesses and organisations, helping you keep portable electrical equipment safe and appropriately maintained.
Our PAT Testing service identifies damaged or faulty appliances through visual inspections and appropriate electrical testing, helping reduce the risk of electric shock, electrical faults and fire.
With clear reporting across your properties, we help you maintain a consistent approach to electrical equipment safety, supporting your wider property safety and compliance responsibilities
Compliance in supported housing is a different beast.
It has stricter frameworks, sector-specific requirements and a very different set of responsibilities.
We have a specialist division built entirely for it. Same one-stop-shop approach, built specifically for housing providers, care organisations and nominated individuals managing property compliance.
