Fire alarm inspection and testing
Where we can offer it for your system, we inspect, test and maintain electrical fire-alarm installations and keep clear records of each visit.
For property managers · landlords of shared buildings · commercial premises
What this service involves
Fire-alarm systems range from interlinked domestic alarms to addressable panels in commercial and multi-occupancy buildings. The right inspection and testing depends on the system type, the premises and the records you already hold, so we begin by finding out what is installed.
Testing involves sounding devices and may affect occupants, monitoring arrangements and day-to-day use of the building. We plan visits with the responsible person so everyone knows what to expect.
Worth knowing before you book
- We confirm before booking whether your particular system is within the scope we can offer.
- Testing supports your fire-safety arrangements but does not by itself guarantee legal compliance; responsibilities sit with the responsible person.
- Some systems require specialist or manufacturer-trained engineers.
