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 Greenford

A fire alarm installation in Greenford 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 Greenford

Fire alarm maintenance in Greenford 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

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.

Yes — all of it. We're in and around Greenford most weeks anyway, surveys are free, and we can usually be with you within 24–48 hours of your enquiry.
