Standards & Proof (BS 5839-1:2025)

How we build for compliance

All design, installation, commissioning and maintenance aligns with BS 5839-1:2025. We specify the right category (L1–L5/M), device types and zoning, verify audibility and programme cause-and-effect to match your evacuation strategy.

Your evidence pack

On completion you receive design and commissioning certificates, as-fitted drawings, zone plans, maintenance schedules and a prioritised remedials list—ready for landlords, insurers and auditors.

Monitoring pathways

Where appropriate, we connect to an ARC using dual-path signalling and set up keyholder/Fire & Rescue notifications in line with local policies and your risk profile.

Problems We Solve

Nuisance alarms under control

Poor siting, the wrong detector type or unhelpful cause-and-effect logic can trigger false alarms. We review fundamentals—multi-sensor choices, zoning and delays—to cut interruptions.

Uptime first

Legacy panels and intermittent faults cost time and money. We plan phased works, manage device/loop migrations and close issues quickly with clear, costed remedials.

Paperwork that stands up

From weekly test guidance to tidy maintenance logs, you’ll have the documentation needed for FRA reviews, insurance renewals and managing-agent checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my Fire Alarm be serviced?2024-06-23T16:12:04+01:00

Every 6 Months

To comply with BS 5839-1, fire detection and alarm systems should undergo a service by a competent provider every six months. This helps ensure the system functions correctly and meets the standard. Regular service allows identification of faults or problems. Addressing any issues guarantees the fire alarm system is operational during emergencies.

Do I need a Fire Alarm Zone Plan?2025-05-18T16:18:42+01:00

Yes, under the updated BS 5839-1:2025 standards, a zone plan is now required. Clause 6.6 has been introduced to specify what cannot be considered acceptable variations to the standard. One important change is that buildings with more than one zone on any storey—particularly those where people sleep—must have a zone plan or suitable diagram. This requirement supports safer evacuation and clearer identification of alarm zones in the event of an emergency.

Do I legally need to have a fire alarm2024-06-23T18:12:17+01:00

Whether you need a fire alarm system depends on compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO). This legislation mandates that businesses must conduct a fire risk assessment to determine the necessary fire safety measures, including the need for a fire alarm system. It’s crucial to understand your legal obligations under the FSO to ensure the safety of your premises and compliance with regulations. Visit our page on the FSO to learn more about how it applies to your business: The Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005
