Fire Alarm Maintenance and Repairs
BS 5839-1 Fire Alarm Servicing by a BAFE SP203-1 Registered Company
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, fire alarm systems must be regularly inspected and maintained by a competent engineer. Proper servicing is not only a legal requirement, it also ensures your system performs reliably in the event of an emergency.
At EFE Fire, we provide fire alarm maintenance, servicing and repairs across London and the surrounding home counties, carried out in accordance with BS 5839-1 for commercial premises and BS 5839-6 for homes and HMOs. We are BAFE SP203-1 registered for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems, third party certificated by NICEIC, so you receive compliant servicing, testing and certification from qualified fire alarm engineers.
Regular Servicing & Legal Compliance
BS 5839-1 recommends that a competent person services your fire alarm system at intervals of no more than six months, which is why most businesses book two maintenance visits a year. Regular servicing identifies faults early, reduces false alarms and keeps your system fully operational and compliant with fire safety regulations.
Our visits follow the BS 5839-1 servicing schedule, covering the control panel and event log, standby batteries and charger, detectors, manual call points, sounders and beacons, interfaces with other systems such as door holders, AOVs and gas shut off valves, and a review of the logbook and any false alarms.
We provide detailed service reports and certification, often required by local authorities, fire brigades, landlords and property management companies.
Fire Alarm Fault Finding and Repairs in London
If your fire alarm panel is showing a fault, sounding without a fire or will not reset, our engineers can attend to find and fix the cause, whether or not we installed the system. We regularly repair earth faults, open and short circuit faults, failed detectors and call points, sounder faults, panel and power supply faults, failed standby batteries and recurring false alarms.
Urgent faults are given priority, and any repair work is clearly explained and priced before we carry it out. For a fire alarm fault or repair, call 020 3797 6355.
Flexible Maintenance Contracts
No Long Term Tie In
We operate a straightforward, no pressure maintenance policy. After your initial service visit, you can choose a flexible payment option, including monthly direct debit plans. There are no restrictive long term contracts, and you remain in control of your servicing schedule.
