Safety first
If there is a fire or you suspect one, follow your site fire plan, evacuate and call 999. Don't wait for us or fill in a form first. Never open panels, reset an unexplained alarm or disable protection. From a safe place, an authorised person may read and photograph the closed panel, then contact your competent maintenance provider.

A six-month rhythm for Brentwood
Public FIA guidance recommends risk-based inspection and servicing by a competent person, normally at intervals not exceeding six months; the site may need more frequent visits. This is a standards recommendation, not a statutory six-month deadline. Brentwood sites still need weekly call-point tests by someone on site between our visits.
Records at Brentwood
We review the site's existing logbook and service records, including weekly tests, open faults and false-alarm history.
Power resilience
Mains indication, charger behaviour and standby batteries are checked on the Brentwood panel so warning still works if power fails.
Sampled devices
A planned share of detectors and call points on the Brentwood system is functionally tested so coverage builds over successive visits.
Honest defect list
Anything that needs repair on the Brentwood site is written down. Minor items can often be done there and then; bigger works are quoted.
Keeping Brentwood systems inspection-ready
Planned maintenance visits keep Brentwood systems aligned with BS 5839-1 guidance. Between visits, someone on site should test a different manual call point each week and write it in the log book.
Taking over an existing Brentwood system? We inspect first, list defects honestly, rebuild missing records where we can, and only then agree a servicing plan. Fault finding and remedial works are quoted clearly before we proceed.
Shenfield multi-tenant sites should name the responsible person for monitoring decisions.

It gives recommendations rather than creating the legal duty; in England and Wales the Fire Safety Order requires suitable maintenance but does not itself set a six-month deadline.
