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.

BS 5839-1 is a code of practice: public FIA guidance recommends inspection and servicing by a competent person with successive visits not more than six months apart, or more often where the site needs it. 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. Someone on site should also test a different call point each week.
They can. We plan cable routes and device positions to respect building fabric and outdoor constraints, and we flag anything that needs specialist access before work starts.
