Routine fire alarm maintenance includes checking all detectors, sounders, call points, control panels, and backup power supplies. We test system functions, clean components if needed, and log everything clearly. It’s all about making sure your system works when it matters most.
UK law requires that fire alarm systems are maintained in line with BS 5839-1 for commercial properties. This means regular inspections and testing by a competent person. Our team makes sure your system stays compliant and ready to protect your people.
We recommend fire alarm maintenance at least twice a year as outlined in BS 5839-1. Larger or higher-risk sites may need more frequent checks. FireHow offers scheduled servicing plans to make sure nothing is missed.
Yes, they do. Just like any safety equipment, fire alarms need to be tested and serviced regularly. Without proper maintenance, faults can go unnoticed. FireHow ensures your system stays reliable and up to standard.
A fire detection and alarm system is designed to detect fires early and alert people in the building so they can evacuate safely. It includes detectors (like smoke or heat sensors), alarm sounders, manual call points, and a control panel. FireHow supplies, installs, and maintains complete systems for all property types.
The system should be visually checked weekly by the building’s responsible person, and professionally maintained every six months. FireHow can handle your biannual servicing to keep everything working properly and in line with legal standards.
A fire detection system spots signs of fire (like smoke or heat), while a fire alarm system alerts people to evacuate. Most modern setups combine both. We provide fully integrated fire detection & alarm systems for complete protection.
In some areas, the local fire service may offer free smoke alarms to vulnerable individuals or households. However, this doesn’t cover commercial premises or larger systems. FireHow supplies and installs certified fire detection & alarm systems for businesses, landlords, and organisations across the UK.
