What Is Fire Alarm Maintenance & Servicing?

Fire alarm maintenance and servicing involve routine checks, tests, and repairs to ensure that your fire alarm system is fully operational and compliant with current fire safety regulations. Regular maintenance is not only a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 but also crucial for ensuring that your fire alarm system will perform effectively in the event of an emergency.

Importance of Regular Fire Alarm Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your fire alarm system is not just about compliance; it’s about ensuring the safety and protection of your building and its occupants. Consistent servicing helps to:

  • Prevent System Failures: Routine checks and maintenance reduce the risk of system malfunctions, ensuring your fire alarm is always ready to respond.
  • Extend System Life: Proper maintenance can significantly extend the life of your fire alarm system, saving you money on costly replacements.
  • Improve Safety: A well-maintained fire alarm system provides peace of mind, knowing that your building and its occupants are protected against fire hazards.
  • Ensure Compliance: Regular servicing helps ensure your system complies with British Standards (BS 5839), which is vital for meeting legal requirements and avoiding penalties.
Compliance with Regulations

For commercial buildings, adherence to legal standards is not just a matter of good practice—it’s a requirement. The British Standards Institution (BSI) outlines several key standards that are crucial for the maintenance of alarm systems in non-domestic premises:

  • BS 5839-1: This standard addresses the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems in non-domestic buildings. It emphasises the need for regular servicing to ensure the system’s effectiveness and compliance with safety regulations.
  • BS 5839-9: Focuses on the maintenance of emergency voice communication systems used alongside fire alarms. Regular checks and servicing are essential to ensure these systems function correctly during an emergency.

Compliance with these standards is crucial for legal reasons and ensures that your commercial building meets the highest safety standards. Failing to adhere to these regulations can result in legal penalties, increased insurance premiums, and, in worst-case scenarios, the loss of life or property.

What Our Clients Say

Our most recent testimonials:

Paul

After repeated poor advice and service from another company we asked Chris Bee to look over the panel and sensors at our Long Eaton office; this was done promptly, resulting in a sensible proposal and we ordered the work to be done. All very satisfactory... we're now talking with Chris about another little project at another office!

East Midlands Demolition

The chap that came was brill. Very helpful, jolly and knew exactly what to do. A credit to your company.

Food & Drink Forum

We had an engineer called Kevin F come to site end of Aug 2022 and right from the beginning, he was very friendly, professional. He went above and beyond to answer our questions and ensured we understood our intercom system before he left. Usually when dealing with engineers, they are on a clock and need to get to another job, he was calm and considerate and would love to have him back if and when required!

Eggleston Steel Ltd

We have trusted APS with our fire safety, alarm and CCTV for many years now. A great company and very quick to react to any issues that we have with excellent staff throughout the business. Engineers are polite, knowledgeable, organised and experienced. Our business manager Tom Warrilow, having previously been an engineer, has the technical knowledge to be able to assist, advise and implement any requests that we throw at him. A pleasure to deal with APS from start to finish and I would highly recommend them.

Age UK Notts

George is a very conscientious, polite and efficient engineer that worked in a clean, safe and timely manner. Despite it being a Friday evening when usually everyone one is in a hurry to get off and start the weekend, George stayed to complete by tidying and vacuuming the area he had worked in. He took pride in his work and left the site as good as he could.

Ella Mossop – Facilities Manager

Myself and my colleagues are very impressed with the service received. From start to finish, everything was very professional and completed very efficiently. The engineer was outstanding, he arrived early both days and cracked on with minimal noise and mess. He made sure all staff members knew how to use the system before leaving and reassured us that we would be able to contact him should any problems arise.

Active Leisure

Your engineer, Kevin, was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and was determined to ensure everything was working as well as it could be and that I knew how to use the system. He was here for a long time and I can't sing his praises enough. I hope you will pass this feedback on to him and also to his uplines -he's a credit to your company.

John A. Stephens

The engineer that was sent to fix our alarm was brilliant - couldn't speak more highly of the company!

Mellor Community Primary School

We have just transferred all of our security management to APS and from the outset the service has been exemplary. Over the past week or so we have had engineers on site who have been so professional in the mammoth task that they have had to carry out. A big thank you to Ash, Jenny and the team at HQ, who have answered queries really quickly. Also a big thank you to Martin (CCTV & Intruder engineer) & Jordan(Fire Safety engineer) for being so accommodating to our needs whilst on site.

Erewash Indoor Bowling Centre

Very pleased with the quality of work & standard of service we are getting from APS. Everyone we have come into contact with, from sales & admin, through to the tech & service teams have been helpful & friendly. We first came into contact with APS when they took over the monitoring & maintenance of our alarm systems. Soon after we started taking to them about CCTV and it wasn't long before they installed us a new 4 camera system. To complete the circle, they have just completed work on a new, very easy to use, door entry system.

Adam – Housing Association

APS have completed a number of CCTV, alarm and personal protection systems for our organisation, and we have always found the company to be flexible, efficient, and very easy to deal with. The team is friendly, accessible, and knowledgeable. Their prices are very competitive too!

Nigel – Procurement Manager

Good service and product from a local business. Product was fitted efficiently and within budget.

John – Facilities Manager

I am very pleased to say that from the initial call to Chris to the completion of the full fire and burglar alarm installation everything went without a hitch. The team of engineers were very helpful and professional, I would certainly recommend them to any company looking for the services that APS provide, we have already asked for a quote for another site.

Added Scientific Ltd

Really pleased with the whole process, from beginning to end. The engineer was very polite and did a great job, leaving everywhere very clean and tidy. Thank you!

Bill – Health & Safety Manager

APS Engineers have had to visit some of our high complex hostels and have carried out all works with the satisfaction from our Service Managers, and all works were carried out professionally, with care, precision and without disruption or incident to our organisations operations. I can recommend him highly and without reservation. APS are very flexible to their response (turning orders around in quick time) and they are extremely clean and tidy in the workplace and never left any of our properties in disarray.
