Frequently asked questions about fire alarms in Greenford

What category of fire alarm do I need in Greenford?
The category depends on your property type. L1 provides full protection, L2-L5 offer partial protection. M systems are manual only. Our engineers will assess your property and recommend the appropriate category under BS 5839. For Greenford sites, we confirm the exact recommendation during survey because building layout, occupancy and local authority or insurer requirements can change the specification.
Is a fire alarm legally required in Greenford?
Fire detection is required in all HMOs, commercial premises, and many rental properties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Housing Act 2004.
How often should fire alarms be serviced in Greenford?
BS 5839 recommends fire alarm systems are serviced twice per year (every 6 months). We offer service contracts covering inspection, testing, and certification.
Do you cover the whole of Greenford?
Yes. Our engineers cover all of Greenford and the surrounding Greater London area. We provide free site surveys and can typically attend within 24–48 hours of your enquiry.

Scheduled service visits, certification, priority fault response and a documented compliance trail. Many of our Greater London clients combine fire alarms servicing with their other systems in one visit to keep costs down.
