Fire alarms we service in Crawley
Much of Crawley's servicing is commercial. Warehouses, factories and laboratories on Manor Royal often have beam detectors for high roofs, which need cleaning and aligning on each visit, and heat detectors where dust and vehicles are normal. Hotels around Gatwick need bedroom detectors tested around guests. Offices and shops in the town centre want the sounders tested out of hours. Blocks of flats and shared houses across the neighbourhoods need a current certificate for the managing agent or the council. We come down from Tooting on a planned schedule and service systems of any make.

Frequently asked questions
How much does fire alarm servicing cost in Crawley?
From £180 + VAT a visit for a conventional system and £240 + VAT for an addressable system, with the certificate issued on the day. If you have emergency lighting, its annual test is £150 + VAT on the same visit. Larger buildings are priced after a free survey.
How often does a fire alarm need servicing?
BS 5839-1 recommends a service at least every six months for commercial systems and the common parts of blocks of flats. For BS 5839-6 systems in HMOs and rented homes an annual check is the usual expectation, and Grade A panel systems follow the six-monthly pattern.
Do you service fire alarms installed by other companies?
Yes. Most of the systems we service were installed by someone else. We test what is there, report its condition honestly and take it onto our schedule. Nothing that works needs replacing.
What do we get after the visit?
A signed certificate, a written record of what was tested, the logbook brought up to date, and a list of anything that failed with a fixed price to put it right. Nothing is repaired without your say-so.
Do you really cover Crawley from London?
Yes. Crawley is straight down the A23 and M23 from our office in Tooting, and we plan Crawley and Gatwick visits together. You get the same six-monthly service, the emergency lighting tested on the same visit and the certificate on the day.
