Fire Alarm system Maintenance around Birmingham

We can help maintain all types of fire alarm systems around Birmingham and the wider West Midlands, from small set-ups in domestic property to large complex systems in multi-let commercial properties.

With decades of hands-on experience, we make sure everything is covered to ensure maintenance of the fire alarm system is spot-on – with recommendations to comply with any current Fire Risk Assessment or legislation and working with clients so they can be involved where necessary to keep costs down.

Sometimes, we get asked how do you maintain a fire alarm – in short, often weekly ‘bell testing’ alongside full ‘maintenance’ often every six months by a professional fire alarm maintenance contractor!

So what’s included with a fire alarm maintenance proposal?

We’ll always provide a fully bespoke fire protection proposal that fits the actual fire alarm system and the client’s needs (and budget).

Ideally let’s first inspect the system to determine what’s needed for the right fire protection services in your Birmingham property.

It might involve preventative fire alarm maintenance to prevent issues from developing or more straightforward servicing and repairs.

Delving deeper might reveal periodic testing or fire panel testing is required on a one-off or regular basis. This might also include a smoke detector/alarm service.

Covering all types of properties

No matter what type of property you have, we cover the fire alarm maintenance in it!

Everything from a basic domestic house smoke or fire alarm system to much more complicated commercial property fire alarm systems.

This includes multi-let properties with many different businesses and units, each with one general or separate fire alarm system, with or without interlinks.

What are the legal requirements for Fire alarm Maintenance

In most cases, full maintenance with appropriate certification is required, followed by a weekly fire alarm bell test, and basically what is the main requirement in fire alarm maintenance.

But it’s essential to work with an experienced and accredited fire alarm maintenance contractor in or around Birmingham to determine this for your own situation, alongside important documentation like the Fire Risk Assessment.

This can then help draft a fire alarm checklist complying with the law, and with some customers we even help them with templates and sheets. Plus, appropriate fire alarm schedules, processes and procedures and even getting into the correct commissioning procedure and verification requirements.

Contact us for more information on technical matters like BS5839 and to answer questions like what the rules for fire alarm maintenance in the UK are.

Selecting the right fire alarm maintenance company in Birmingham

At RG Service (Birmingham) Limited, we offer you the expertise and hands-on experience to ensure that the best possible fire agency competently covers your fire protection system.

Establishing the correct fire alarm maintenance systems contract

Whatever your service contract need is, we’ll provide a bespoke proposal to work around it.

Although usually an annual maintenance contract for fire alarm systems although with, say 6 monthly visits within here), we often don’t bind customers to this with the flexibility to end any time. Alternatively, we can make it longer to suit.

Issuing certification and documentation

Whatever fire alarm maintenance certificate you need, we’ll provide it—and work alongside any on-site Fire Log Books and records, such as weekly bell testing notes or special fire systems software a customer client has.

We can issue more in-depth fire alarm inspection and servicing reports and more practical things like a system operations and maintenance manual.

We’re always on time.

We’re not only punctual on the day, but we’ll also ensure that all time frames and deadlines are complied with.

These may be prescribed in, say, the annual maintenance contract for fire alarm systems or any other frequency, such as weekly testing. We can also be on call 24/7 for emergency call-outs and monitoring services as well.

Just contact us if you need further advice on these timings and schedules, with popular questions like how often should fire alarm maintenance detection and warning systems be checked, or how often should a fire alarm system be serviced and even cleaned.

So, how much does it cost to service your fire alarm

Of course this is a big question, how much fire alarm system maintenance will cost. Don’t worry, we’ll ensure it’s not only competitive but better than any other compatible ones!

Just send us details, and we’ll immediately provide a fire alarm maintenance quote. We’ll be clear on all aspects of this, including the main contract visits, plus any reactive repairs and call-out charges.

This can also include any ancillary services, such as fire alarm monitoring service alongside a remote monitoring station and arranged keyholder.
