Based on what local customers need

The most common enquiries for this service fall into two practical areas: a properly specified installation and reliable support for systems already in use.

Fire alarm installation in Cheshunt

A fire alarm installation in Cheshunt starts with the building use, escape strategy and current fire risk assessment. We design conventional, addressable and wireless systems to the appropriate BS 5839 category, rather than quoting a generic panel and detector count.

The installation includes the control panel, detection, manual call points, sounders or visual alarm devices, fire-resistant cabling where required, commissioning and the handover documents needed by the responsible person.

Fire alarm servicing, testing and maintenance in Cheshunt

Fire alarm maintenance in Cheshunt covers planned six-monthly servicing, detector and call-point tests, panel and battery checks, sounder operation, fault investigation and an updated log book or service certificate. Weekly user tests remain the responsible person's duty; the professional service checks the system as a whole.

We can also take over an existing fire alarm installed by another company. The first visit records the panel, devices, faults, certification and any gaps against the present building use before an ongoing maintenance plan is agreed.

  • Six-monthly planned preventive maintenance
  • Testing, fault finding and false-alarm reduction
  • Existing-system takeovers and condition reports
  • Service records for insurers and fire risk assessors
