Servicing & Maintenance of Fire Systems

Why regular maintenance matters

Your fire and life safety systems are your building’s first line of defence in an emergency. But even the most advanced system won’t protect you properly if it’s not properly maintained. Regular servicing helps to:

Ensure full compliance with relevant British Standards (e.g. BS 5839-1 for non-domestic fire alarm systems)

Detect faults and deterioration before they become critical

Preserve warranties and certify safety insurers require

Give you confidence that your system will perform when it matters most

Regulatory & compliance obligations

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, building owners and responsible persons must ensure fire systems are maintained in an efficient state, in good repair and in working order. A qualified service provider must also furnish detailed reports on the condition of the system.

In addition, fire alarm systems in non-domestic properties must be maintained in accordance with BS 5839-1 (or the applicable standard), which prescribes the frequency, checks, and documentation needed.

By choosing Spectrum, your maintenance meets these regulatory obligations — and gives you robust records to demonstrate compliance.
