Fire Alarm Inspection & Testing
A small fire can quickly grow into an inferno if your systems are not maintained & tested regularly.
Fire alarm systems are integral to a building's emergency plan and a well-maintained fire alarm system provides the earliest possible warning of a fire. This crucial time allows occupants to evacuate safely, reducing the risk of injuries, fatalities, and costly damage to property.
Regular fire alarm maintenance & testing is essential as it verifies that all parts of the system – detectors (smoke, heat, multi-sensor), manual call points, sounders, control panel, and any communication links (e.g. to a monitoring station) – are functioning correctly. It also helps to insure system integrity as with any electrical components, they can degrade, wear out, or fail over time due to dust, dirt, environmental factors, and simply old age.
Call WR Fire Solutions to have your fire alarm systems tested by a competent engineer who will carry out a thorough inspection with current legislation.
As pictured, preventive maintenance done correctly by a component engineer working to BS5839-1:2025 standards, will identify issues to prevent the worse from happening.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and BS 5839-1:2025) states that regular fire alarm maintenance is a legal requirement. Non-compliance can lead to significant fines, legal action, and imprisonment in severe cases.
In essence, fire alarm maintenance isn't just a regulatory obligation; it's a vital safety measure that directly contributes to saving lives, protecting property, and ensuring a safe environment for everyone.
