One of our newest services is Fire Alarm Maintenance. We have such a fantastic relationship with our customers that they were regularly asking us to provide this service too.
It became evident there was demand for a fire alarm maintenance service at Signal Fire & Safety and so we’ve expanded our offering. This allows our customers to access a “one-stop-shop” service from us. We gained qualifications to National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC) standards to allow us to maintain fire alarms for our customers.
A fire alarm service and maintenance contract is important for businesses to ensure their systems work when they need it. Legally, businesses must have a system in place to detect early signs of fire and if a fire alarm is left unmaintained, it could lead to a costly, sometimes life-threatening incident which could have easily been avoided.
In the event that mains lights fail in a commercial building, legal health and safety requirements state back up provisions must be in place. We work with our customers to test and maintain emergency lighting systems.
This service goes hand in hand with our fire extinguisher services and our fire alarm maintenance contracts.
At a time convenient for you, we switch the power supply to a battery back up for a set period of time. We then restart the power supply and if the emergency lighting is not back up and running, we can change or replace parts to ensure your emergency lighting is in good working order.
The battery in your emergency lighting also needs changing every four years, which we can do as part of our service.
At Signal Fire & Safety, we can also help manage your health and safety signage, including fire exit signs and call fire assembly points. This service is closely connected to the emergency lights service we offer.
We can review existing signage and determine if it needs replacing. We also cover the full building to assess where the health and safety signage is needed. From then we can source, supply and install as quickly as you require.
As per the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all business premises should have a fire risk assessment conducted to identify potential risks or hazards, and any procedures or policies that can be put in place to minimise or reduce those risks.
We can visit you at your premises, carry out a fire risk assessment and talk through how to achieve a safer fire safety environment and document our findings. We can also help educate the designated ‘Responsible Person’ within the organisation on how to keep accurate records on risk assessments, and the current fire safety policy, procedures, training and drills in line with current legislation. It should be noted that the routine maintenance of all fire alarm systems, emergency lighting and extinguishers must also be recorded.
