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.

Light-industrial estates toward rochford often pair fire alarms with existing cctv or access control. Travel is about 16 miles from our Chafford Hundred base via the A127 / A129, so we can usually combine fire alarm visits with other Rayleigh security work when that helps both of us.

Routine care for fire alarms around Rayleigh
Planned maintenance visits keep Rayleigh 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 Rayleigh 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.
If Rayleigh security systems already interface with doors, say so before we design monitoring.
For Rayleigh premises we also offer emergency lighting installation, testing and servicing, delivered with our partner BCS FM Limited (testing that follows BS 5266 recommendations).

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.
Often yes. If you have CCTV or access control on site, we discuss interfaces and how systems work together at survey without forcing products you do not need.
