Servicing Frinton-on-Sea to BS 5839-1 guidance
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. For Frinton-on-Sea premises, your fire risk assessment may ask for more.
