Fire alarm servicing and maintenance for Ballymena buildings
Northern Ireland has its own fire safety order, its own HMO licensing law and its own building regulations, so compliance work here follows Northern Ireland legislation rather than the rules in Great Britain.
BS 5839-1 recommends that a competent person inspects and services your fire alarm system at intervals of no more than six months. Each visit tests a share of the detectors, all the call points over the year, the panel, the batteries and the standby power, and checks that nothing in the building has changed in a way that affects the system.
We service conventional, addressable and wireless systems from all the major manufacturers. Every visit ends with a written report that lists what was tested, any faults found, and any variations from the standard that need a decision from you. Faults are priced clearly, and we will not carry out chargeable work without your approval.
The rules that apply in Ballymena
Private tenancies in Northern Ireland must meet the fitness standards set by the Department for Communities, including working smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms. HMOs are licensed by councils under the Houses in Multiple Occupation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016, which sets fire detection standards as licence conditions.
