Common Fire Safety Issues

Fire Safety Regulations

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places legal duties on responsible persons to ensure adequate fire detection and warning systems. We help you meet these obligations through compliant system design, installation and maintenance.

All fire alarm systems must comply with BS 5839-1 standards covering system design, installation and commissioning. Our engineers are trained in current standards and provide systems that meet regulatory requirements and industry best practice.

Fire authorities enforce compliance through inspections and can issue enforcement notices for non-compliant systems. We work with local fire services and provide documentation that demonstrates regulatory compliance and due diligence.

Proper documentation is essential for demonstrating compliance and supporting insurance claims. We maintain detailed records of all work and provide certificates that meet regulatory and commercial requirements.

• Commissioning certificates and as-fitted drawings
• Operation and maintenance manuals
• Service records and test certificates
• Remedial action reports and completion certificates
• Zone charts and cause and effect matrices

We maintain complete documentation throughout the system lifecycle and provide digital records that support compliance audits, insurance requirements and property transactions.

Our accreditations demonstrate technical competence and provide assurance to clients, insurers and regulatory authorities. These certifications are essential for commercial fire safety work.

Fire Alarm Services FAQ

• How often should fire alarms be tested?

  Fire alarm systems require weekly testing of a different zone each week, with full system testing every six months. We provide maintenance contracts that include all required testing and documentation to ensure compliance with BS 5839-1.

• What happens if a fire alarm fails inspection?

  Failed inspections can result in enforcement notices and operational restrictions. We provide emergency remedial work to address compliance issues quickly and supply certification that demonstrates regulatory compliance to fire authorities.

• How long does fire alarm installation take?

  Installation timescales depend on building size and system complexity. Small commercial buildings typically take 2-3 days, while larger projects may require several weeks. We provide detailed programmes that coordinate with other building work.

• Do you work outside normal hours?

  We provide out-of-hours installation and emergency repair services to minimise business disruption. Many commercial installations are completed during evenings and weekends to avoid affecting normal building operations and tenant activities.
