What we do
We inspect and test the system, review the control panel and logbook, check a representative sample of devices and report defects or changes that may affect operation. Any agreed remedial work is planned with you and recorded.
How often is a service visit due?
BS 5839-1:2025 recommends successive inspection and servicing visits at approximately six-month intervals. The 2025 guidance allows a practical window of about five to seven months around the due date. We schedule visits against the system’s acceptance date and agreed maintenance plan.
Quarterly visits where needed
Six-monthly servicing is the standard recommendation for routine inspection and service. A quarterly visit can be arranged where the fire risk assessment, system conditions, insurer, contract or responsible person calls for more frequent attention; it is not presented as the universal BS 5839-1 interval.
