month contract instructing us to service your fire alarm equipment.
We then issue a work sheet and test certificate if your system is compliant
and you are able to call us at any time if the system develops
a fault or you need expert advice out of normal working hours. We are able to
undertake all aspects of maintaining your fire alarm equipment throughout Devon
and Cornwall including emergency lighting and fire extinguishers. Call

To comply with Health and Safety Regulations it is most important to ensure
your fire alarm equipment is regularly serviced. It is a requirement to do so
to meet British Standards! Failure can in effect give
your insurance company a good reason not to pay in the event you have to make
a claim
All fire systems maintained to BS 5839. Remember as a condition of meeting
BS 5839 Part 1 the system must be regularly inspected and maintained at quarterly
visits per annum. This is in addition to duties required by the system user.
What can we do for you?
As a minimum you must use qualified fire alarm engineers
to carry out one annual and one bi-annual test and inspection each year.
Our fire alarm engineers can carry out all of the tests and inspections for
you and we recommend that all fire alarm systems are tested at 3 monthly intervals
by qualified engineers. The daily and weekly tests can be carried out by your
own trained personnel. Call us on 0800 9751 911 for further information.
