    A fire safety health check

    Are Your Premises Protected?

    A panel on the wall is not the same as protection. Protected means the system works, the emergency lighting comes on, the certificates are current and somebody is watching the dates.

    About this service

    Four questions worth answering honestly

    Does the fire alarm actually work, on every circuit and device? Would the emergency lighting come on and stay on long enough to empty the building? Are the certificates current and on file? And does anyone know when the next service is due? If any answer is no or not sure, the building is less protected than it looks.

    We check all four in one free survey visit. The engineer reads the panel and its event log, looks at the detectors, call points and sounders, checks the emergency lighting and the paperwork, and tells you plainly where you stand: what is fine, what needs attention and what it costs to put right, as a fixed written price. The law requires fire safety systems to be maintained in working order, and the quickest way to know whether yours are is to have them looked at properly.

    Everything in One Visit

    Fire alarm, emergency lighting and the paperwork, checked together by one engineer.

    Then Kept That Way

    Six-monthly servicing with certificates on the day and a reminder before each visit is due.

    What protected looks like on paper

    A protected building has a current fire risk assessment, a fire alarm serviced within the last six months to BS 5839-1, an emergency lighting system with its annual BS 5266-1 test certificate, and a logbook of weekly tests. That is the file an inspector, a licensing officer or an insurer expects to open.

    Most buildings we survey are not starting from nothing: they have a system that needs a service, a few devices in the wrong place, or paperwork that has drifted. Those are quick, inexpensive things to put right compared with finding out after an incident.

    Beyond fire

    Protection is wider than the fire alarm. We also install and maintain CCTV, intruder alarms, access control and door entry, so one company can look after the building's safety and security together. The survey covers whatever you want looked at.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does the free survey involve?

    An engineer visits, checks the fire alarm, emergency lighting and certificates, and gives you a written summary with fixed prices for anything needed. It usually takes under an hour and there is no obligation.

    We have a fire alarm. Does that mean we are covered?

    Only if it works and is maintained. The Fire Safety Order requires systems to be kept in efficient working order, so an unserviced alarm can leave a business in breach even though a panel is on the wall.

    How quickly can problems be put right?

    Small faults are often fixed on the first visit. Anything larger gets a fixed written price first, and servicing can usually be booked within days.

    Do you check security as well as fire?

    Yes, if you want it looked at: CCTV, intruder alarms, access control and door entry, surveyed on the same visit.

    Is the survey really free?

    Yes. The survey and the written summary cost nothing, and the prices quoted are fixed. You decide what, if anything, to go ahead with.
