Fire Alarm Maintenance FAQs
Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for a premises must keep fire safety equipment in efficient working order and in good repair. The law doesn’t specify how — BS 5839-1 is the recognised standard that sets out what good maintenance looks like, which is why servicing is normally carried out to it.
Most commercial fire alarm systems should be serviced at approximately six month intervals in line with BS 5839-1. The 2025 update allows a tolerance of one month either side, so servicing can be completed within a five to seven month window. Larger or higher-risk sites often need quarterly visits or phased testing.
A short user test carried out by someone on site, not an engineer. You activate one manual call point using the test key, confirm the alarm sounds, reset the panel, and record it in the logbook. Use a different call point each week so the whole system gets covered over time.
A competent person — someone with the training, experience and knowledge to do the work properly. Third-party certification is how competence is normally demonstrated, and it’s what most insurers and fire risk assessors look for.
We check the control panel and power supplies, test a rotation of detectors and call points, confirm sounder operation where applicable, check interfaces such as door retainers or shutdowns where relevant, review the logbook, and issue a service report with clear actions.
It depends on the number of devices. A small system of ten to twenty devices is usually a straightforward visit. Larger sites take longer, and on some premises we phase the testing across visits so it causes less disruption to trading or production. We’ll tell you what to expect before we attend.
For small systems in Hull with 1 to 10 devices, servicing starts from £85 + VAT for a single visit, or £160 + VAT for two visits per year. Larger sites are quoted on system size and complexity. Remedial works and fault finding are quoted separately and never carried out without your approval first.
