Fire alarms we service in Lambeth
Lambeth runs from the new towers at Vauxhall and Nine Elms to the markets, bars and music venues of Brixton, the long run of shops and flats on Streatham High Road, and street after street of converted houses and HMOs. Blocks of flats here often have a communal fire alarm alongside smoke vents, and both need servicing on the same schedule. In the bars and venues the alarm has to work with the music cutting out on alarm, which we test on every visit.

Frequently asked questions
How much does fire alarm servicing cost in Lambeth?
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.
Our venue in Brixton has the music cut out on fire alarm. Do you test that?
Yes. Any interface the fire alarm controls, such as music cut-out, door releases, lift recall or smoke vents, is tested on the service so you know it works when the alarm goes off. We record each one on the certificate.
