Fire Alarm Installation Servicing & Maintenance
Fire alarms are installed to protect your building and its occupants acting as an early warning system enabling a safe and timely evacuation from the building in the event of a fire. Keeping your fire alarm system adequately maintained will ensure the occupants are alerted in the event of a fire and also help to prevent false alarms.
A recent investigation by Which? has revealed unsafe smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors have been sold by a number of online sites. The unbranded alarms could be “putting lives at risk” with hundreds of listings for unbranded alarms failing basic smoke and gas tests.
How often should my fire alarm system be serviced?
Your fire risk assessment will take into account the type of fire alarm system installed, the operating environment and other factors that may affect the operation of the system. This will determine the frequency of visits required.
