Fire alarm Servicing Essex and London – Your legal requirements

The Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005 requires that commercial establishments must be equipped with appropriate and functional fire alarms and fire detectors.

Additionally, you must regularly service your fire detection system to comply with the British Standards for fire detection and fire alarm systems in non-domestic buildings and property, BS 5839. British Standard recommends having routine testing every 3-6 months (subject to requirements of your Fire Risk Assesment) with a qualified and certified provider.

Commercial establishments should also display a fire alarm zone plan in the building to support local fire services. Our experts at IQ Fire Solutions can help you comply with the legal requirements of the Fire Safety Order.

All Types of Fire Alarms Covered in our Fire Alarm Service in and Around London

We are expert engineers familiar with the three main types of fire alarm systems in commercial premises:

Our trained engineers are qualified to support commercial premises with either of these alarm systems. Unsure which alarm system you have or which would be more relevant for your building?

Here’s a brief overview of fire alarm servicing per system type

Conventional Fire Alarm Servicing

This is typically found in small and low-risk commercial sites. Your premises are divided by the fire alarm system into broad zones with no requirements for specific area identification.
Our team can ensure functions and connections in each fire alarm area during inspection and fire alarm testing.

Addressable Fire Alarm Servicing

An addressable fire alarm system is one in which all fire and smoke detection devices in a system are connected and communicate both with each other and a central control monitoring location. This interconnectivity allows the control personnel to identify the location or "address" where the initial detection occurred. The information directs the emergency response team to pinpoint their efforts immediately to the precise location of the developing problem.

Wireless Fire Alarm Servicing

This type of system is preferred for premises that can’t use a lot of wiring and cabling due to their nature, such as historic buildings. It works in a similar way to the addressable fire alarm system, relying on a secure wireless link to connect the sensors and the alarm panel. Our Maintenance Engineer will test and inspect the wireless connections and ensure they activate the appropriate response on the panel.

Scheduled Fire Alarm Maintenance in Essex and London

As mentioned, professionals must test and inspect your fire alarm systems regularly. We also recommend running weekly testing to ensure the alarm panel, sounders, and sensors operate as they should. Please ensure that the fire brigade is notified of your test period before and after completion to reduce the risk of false emergency responses. In the event of problems with the fire alarm system, we advise you to get in touch with our team as soon as possible for rapid diagnosis and repair.

Arranging for professional, periodic inspection is a non-negotiable risk assessment duty in each commercial building. We can work closely with your team to arrange timely and regular maintenanceappointments on your site.
