Fire Alarm System Services
While passive measures contain fire, an effective fire alarm system provides the critical early warning necessary for safe evacuation.
As a pillar of your active facilities management provision, FM247 offers comprehensive design, installation, maintenance, and testing services for commercial fire alarms across the UK, ensuring your system is completely reliable when you need it most.
No monthly contract • Ad hoc support when you need it
Compliance and System Integrity to BS 5839
We work with all types of systems, from simple conventional setups to complex analogue addressable networks, ensuring all services meet the stringent requirements of BS 5839-1 (for non-domestic premises).
Our technical team focuses on system reliability and compliance, reducing the risk of costly false alarms while guaranteeing the system’s primary function—early detection and mass notification.
Our fire alarm services include:
Design & Installation: Developing a compliant system design tailored to your building’s use and risk profile, ensuring correct zoning and device selection (e.g., smoke, heat, multi-sensor detectors).
Preventative Maintenance: Performing the scheduled six-monthly or quarterly inspections and testing required by law to check the control panel, power supplies, detectors, and sounders.
Fault Rectification: Rapid-response service to diagnose and repair faults, addressing any issues that compromise the system's ability to operate.
Routine Testing and Documentation
System testing is a non-negotiable legal requirement. We support your in-house teams with the necessary oversight and documentation for weekly and monthly checks, while our engineers conduct the detailed periodic inspections and testing.
Weekly Testing Support: Guidance and logbook recording for the 'Responsible Person' to test a manual call point weekly.
Periodic Inspection: Comprehensive testing of all circuits, detectors, batteries, and functionality, providing a full Certificate of Inspection and Test.
Reducing False Alarms: Through diligent maintenance and modern system upgrades, we work to identify and eliminate common causes of false alarms, which can lead to complacency and unnecessary disruption.
