Fire alarms we service in Rochester and Medway
In Medway we service fire alarms in listed buildings along Rochester High Street, where wireless systems are common, in the shops, pubs and restaurants of Chatham and Gillingham, in HMOs and student lets around the university campus at Chatham Maritime, and in the communal systems of newer flats at Rochester Riverside. Kent Fire and Rescue Service enforces fire safety here, and they, your insurer and the council can all ask to see the certificate. We take over systems of any make and keep them in date.

Frequently asked questions
How much does fire alarm servicing cost in Rochester and Medway?
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 cover fire alarm servicing in Medway as well as London?
Yes. We service fire alarms across Rochester, Strood, Chatham, Gillingham and Rainham on the same terms as London: six-monthly visits, the emergency lighting tested on the same visit if you have it, and the certificate issued on the day.
