Fire Safety Maintenance for commercial buildings
Fire alarm, emergency lighting, extinguisher and fire door servicing.
What is fire safety maintenance?
Fire safety maintenance keeps a building's fire protection working: fire alarm servicing, emergency lighting tests, extinguisher servicing, fire door inspections and the logbook that records it all. It supports the responsible person's duties under fire safety law.

Who tests the weekly call points?
Usually your own staff. We can train them, check the logbook and cover the six-monthly service.
Do you inspect fire doors?
Yes. Doors, frames, seals, closers and signage are checked, and any defects are quoted for repair.
