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.

Loughton servicing FAQs
Yes. We are a family-run team based in Chafford Hundred, about 22 miles from our Chafford Hundred base via the M11 / A121. We cover Loughton plus Debden and Buckhurst Hill for planned fire alarm servicing, takeovers and maintenance contracts.
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.
Domestic premises usually follow BS 5839-6 grades and coverage categories. For flats, HMOs and mixed-use premises, a competent person must first review the building's fire strategy, evacuation arrangements, assessment and any licensing conditions. A communal alarm is not automatically appropriate for every block. We confirm after reviewing the building and fire risk assessment.
