What Fire Alarm Servicing Covers

Fire alarm servicing involves a series of checks and tests to ensure the system is operating correctly and reliably. The exact scope of work will depend on the type and complexity of your system. Factors that influence the cost and nature of the service include the number of devices (detectors, call points, sounders) and control panels within the building. The system's category, such as M (manual), L1 to L5 (life protection), or P1 or P2 (property protection), also dictates the servicing requirements. Whether the site consists of a single building or multiple structures will impact the service duration and cost. The age of the control panel and the availability of spare parts can also be a factor, particularly for older systems. Finally, the number of visits contracted per year will affect the overall cost. The firm we connect you with will assess these elements when preparing their quotation.

This is further supported by the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, which places general duties on employers and those in control of premises to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare of their employees and others who may be affected by their work.
