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.

Servicing Romford 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 Romford premises, your fire risk assessment may ask for more.
Romford log books
We review the site's existing logbook and service records, including faults, false alarms and weekly tests since the last service, and update the log book at each visit.
Panel checks in Romford
Control equipment, indicators and the standby supply (batteries and charger) are checked, with the extent and limitations recorded; this is not a guarantee of operation during every power failure.
Device rotation covering Collier Row, Harold Hill and Rush Green
Detectors, call points, warning devices and relevant interfaces are inspected and tested to an agreed schedule and the manufacturer's instructions; device coverage and any rotation are confirmed against the applicable recommendations, and defects or immediate risks are reported to the Responsible Person.
Remedials for Romford sites
You get a clear defect list for the Romford system. Simple fixes can often be agreed on the day; larger remedials are quoted first.
What Romford responsible persons ask for
