Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about fire alarm systems, installation, and compliance

What type of fire alarm system do I need for my building?
The type of fire alarm system depends on your building size, layout, occupancy type, and risk assessment. Small buildings often suit conventional systems, while larger or complex buildings benefit from addressable systems. We conduct a full site survey and risk assessment to recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective solution that meets BS 5839 standards and your insurance requirements.
How often do fire alarm systems need to be tested and maintained?
BS 5839-1 requires weekly testing of fire alarm systems (typically by pressing a manual call point on rotation), quarterly inspection by a competent person, and annual servicing by a qualified engineer. We provide maintenance contracts covering all testing requirements, ensuring your system remains compliant and your insurance valid.
Can you upgrade or expand my existing fire alarm system?
Yes, we can upgrade conventional systems to addressable, add additional zones or devices, replace outdated panels, or integrate new areas into existing systems. We assess your current system, verify compatibility, and provide solutions that maximise your existing investment while ensuring full compliance with current standards.
What is the difference between L1, L2, L3, and other fire alarm categories?
BS 5839-1 defines categories based on coverage: L1 provides detection throughout the building, L2 covers escape routes plus specific high-risk areas, L3 covers escape routes only, L4 and L5 are more limited. The category required depends on building use, occupancy, and risk assessment. We help determine the appropriate category for your premises and design accordingly.
Do you provide emergency call-out for fire alarm faults?
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency call-out services for fire alarm system faults. We understand that a non-functional fire alarm system is a critical safety issue and can affect your insurance coverage. Our engineers respond quickly to diagnose and repair faults, restore system functionality, and ensure your premises remain protected and compliant.
Can fire alarm systems be integrated with other building systems?
Yes, modern addressable fire alarm systems can integrate with building management systems, access control, HVAC systems, and emergency lighting. Integration allows automatic actions such as unlocking doors, shutting down air handling, activating smoke control, and triggering emergency lighting during fire events. We design integrated solutions tailored to your building requirements.
