Compliance & Documentation (BS 5839-1:2025)

What we work to

All design, installation, commissioning and fire alarm maintenance follows BS 5839-1:2025. We specify appropriate categories (L1–L5/M), detector spacing, sound levels and cause-and-effect programming to suit your building and evacuation strategy.

Documentation you receive

You’ll get design and commissioning certificates, as-fitted drawings, zone plans, maintenance records and a prioritised remedials list—everything insurers, landlords and auditors expect to see.

Monitoring & response options

For added resilience, we can connect to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) with dual-path signalling. Keyholder and Fire & Rescue notification options are configured in line with local policy.

Problems We Solve

Fewer false alarms

Wrong device types, poor siting and weak cause-and-effect are the usual culprits. We fix the fundamentals—multi-sensor selection, zoning that mirrors the fire strategy, and sensible delays where appropriate—to reduce unwanted activations.

Keep operations moving

Ageing panels, cable faults and ad-hoc servicing create downtime. We phase works around production or trading hours (night/weekend if needed) and provide clear remedials so fixes happen fast.

Audit-ready compliance

From weekly test guidance to watertight paperwork, we make it easy to evidence compliance for risk assessments, insurers and site owners.
