Maintenance to Current Fire Alarm Standards
BS 5839-1:2025 is the current British Standard code of practice covering the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems in non-domestic premises.
For businesses and other non-domestic premises, the Responsible Person must put in place and maintain appropriate fire-safety measures and carry out regular checks to ensure fire alarm systems are working.
Our engineers can help you establish a planned maintenance programme, document defects and coordinate remedial work so your fire alarm remains part of an effective fire-safety system.
Typical Maintenance Checks
- Control panel condition and indications
- Manual call points
- Smoke and heat detectors
- Sounders and visual alarm devices
- Interfaces and monitored equipment
- Mains and standby power supplies
- Fault records and system logbook
- Changes to the building that may affect coverage

Fire Alarm Maintenance FAQs
How often should a commercial fire alarm be serviced?
The appropriate service programme depends on the system, premises and applicable recommendations. We can review your existing maintenance arrangements and set up a planned schedule.
Can you take over maintenance from another company?
Yes. We can inspect the existing system, review available records, identify outstanding faults and create an ongoing maintenance plan.
Do you maintain older fire alarm systems?
In many cases, yes. We work across a broad range of manufacturers and can advise where obsolete equipment should be repaired, replaced or upgraded.
Can you repair faults found during servicing?
Yes. Where practical we can complete repairs during the visit, or provide clear recommendations and pricing for further remedial work.
