Fire alarms in Kensington and Chelsea
Much of the borough is mansion blocks and converted period houses looked after by managing agents, where a communal BS 5839-1 system has to be serviced every six months with a certificate per block and a reminder before the next visit. Listed buildings in Chelsea, Holland Park and Notting Hill suit wireless systems that avoid cable runs through plaster and cornicing. Earls Court and North Kensington have shared houses and short-let flats; the council licenses HMOs and asks for the BS 5839-6 certificate. Hotels, restaurants and shops along the King's Road and Kensington High Street need addressable systems serviced on a fixed cycle. We fit around residents and trading hours and leave the paperwork complete.
