Servicing fire protection equipment

Regular servicing of fire protection equipment is a legal requirement which provides many benefits for a building’s owners and occupants. Servicing allows for a complete system check regularly so that fire safety systems are working correctly and will be ready for an emergency.

Furthermore by carrying out service checks on equipment will ensure any faults are quickly identified and fixed before they get out of hand. Malfunctioning equipment can prove extremely costly and might even put lives at risk if a system breaks down just as it is needed to combat a fire.

This illustrates the high importance of servicing protection equipment. Here at Surefire our team of engineers are qualified to carry out a wide range of service activities, including:

Fire alarm servicing

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that all fire safety equipment be “maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair”. Regular services should be carried out at least twice a year or quarterly depending on individual fire risk assessments. Knowing your alarm will react as soon as a fire is detected will allow you to carry out your daily activities without worry.

Fire extinguisher servicing

Fire extinguishers must be serviced every 12 months in in accordance with BS 5036-6. Even if they have not been used they should still be checked regularly to confirm that they will work when required. This will help to ensure the safety of anyone within your building.

Surefire have a team of BAFE certified engineers who are on hand 24/7 to deal with any problems you might have and are ready to carry out the servicing of fire protection equipment.
