Fire alarm servicing and maintenance for Romford buildings
London's building stock runs from Georgian terraces to some of the tallest residential towers in Europe. Mixed-use buildings, conversions above shops and a very large number of higher-risk buildings make evidence-led fire safety management essential here.
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 Romford
Rented homes in England must have a smoke alarm on each storey used as living accommodation and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance, other than a gas cooker. HMO licence conditions set by the local council often go further and call for a mains-wired, interlinked system to BS 5839-6.
