How Often Should Fire Alarms Be Tested?

BS 5839-1:2017 requires weekly testing of fire alarm systems by a competent person on site, with quarterly testing by qualified engineers. Annual thorough testing covers all system components and interfaces.

We can arrange regular testing schedules that meet your compliance requirements and building occupancy patterns. Our engineers coordinate with site teams to minimise disruption during testing procedures and provide failed inspection support if issues are identified.

What Happens If Our System Fails Testing?

If testing reveals system faults or compliance issues, we provide immediate fault diagnosis and remedial recommendations. Our engineers can carry out repairs during the same visit where possible or schedule follow-up work to restore full system operation.

We maintain detailed fault logs and provide clear timescales for any remedial work required. For older systems showing repeated issues, we can advise on upgrade options or system installation to improve reliability and reduce ongoing maintenance costs.

Do You Provide Testing Certificates?

We provide detailed test certificates and documentation for every testing visit. Our certificates meet insurance and regulatory requirements and include detailed fault reports, remedial recommendations and compliance confirmation.

All documentation is provided digitally and in hard copy format as required. We maintain testing records for audit purposes and can provide historical performance data for system reliability assessment and budget planning.

Can You Test Systems Installed By Other Companies?

We test fire alarm systems regardless of the original installer or manufacturer. Our engineers are trained on all major fire alarm brands and can work with existing system documentation to ensure proper testing procedures.

We often take over testing contracts from other providers and can integrate with existing maintenance schedules. Our main fire safety page explains our approach to working with inherited systems and compliance handover procedures.
