Fire Alarm Maintenance FAQs
Commercial fire alarm systems should normally be tested by the person responsible for the premises every week. This routine test typically involves activating a manual call point, using a different call point in rotation where possible, to check that the alarm operates correctly.
In addition to these regular tests, BS 5839-1:2025 recommends that professional inspection and servicing visits take place at intervals of approximately six months.
The cost of fire alarm maintenance will depend on factors such as the size of your premises, the type of fire alarm system, the number of devices that need to be checked and the level of maintenance support required.
Black & Gold offers fire alarm maintenance solutions tailored to different businesses and premises. Contact our team to discuss your system and receive a quote based on your requirements.
