The 4 Stages of Your Fire Alarm Maintenance:
Check out the steps below to see what’s involved in keeping your fire alarm functional and healthy, so it is in the best state to keep your people safe and your premises legally compliant:
1
Brief & Survey: When you enquire, we’ll listen to your needs and requirements so we can gather the information we need to put together the best bespoke plan for you.
2
The Service: Your fire alarm maintenance is usually split into two visits per year – a major and a minor. (Your Fire Risk Assessment will stipulate if you require more services.)
3
Due Diligence: Following your visit, we’ll issue an engineer’s report (which can be used as a certificate of proof you’ve had a fire alarm service), which will detail any remedials needed.
4
Aftercare: Our maintenance packages come with free 24/7 telephone support as a standard. But don’t fret, we’ll head straight to you if we can’t fix something remotely.

Fire Alarm Maintenance Explained:
Legally, you’re obliged to have your fire alarm system serviced/maintained at least once every six months (check out the British Standards, specifically BS 5839-1: 2017 for more info).
With regular servicing by a competent and accredited specialist, you can be sure that your fire detection system is working in line with current regulatory standards (but if it’s not, we’ll fix it!) so it’ll be a life-saver when you need it most.
That’s why a fire alarm is often referred to as a ‘life safety system’.
Your fire alarm service is usually split into a major (where 100% of the system is tested) and a minor (where part of the system is tested, typically one device per loop on the fire alarm).
Wondering what this is? It's a smoke pole, which simulates a puff of smoke used to test your out-of-reach smoke detectors - pretty cool, eh?
Your Engineer Will Look At:
Control panel functions and visuals
Battery condition & radio signals (if wireless)
Your log book for evidence of weekly testing and any fault issues between services
Device functionality and responses including smoke and/or heat detectors and Manual Call Points (MCPs)
The connection between the fire alarm and the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) if you have monitoring, i.e. a key holder and/or Fire Brigade response
Plus...if you need help with understanding how to carry out your weekly fire alarm testing, your maintenance visit is the opportune time!

Have You Considered Alarm Monitoring?
Fire alarms are only useful if someone is around to hear them…so if you’re installing a fire detection system, it’s also worth asking yourself if you need to consider fire alarm monitoring.
This is an emergency response whereby you/designated key holders and the Fire Brigade (you can have key holders without the Fire Brigade) will be notified if the alarm goes off.
This is super handy for overnight when no one is around and if your premises is left vacant for long periods, because if a fire happens then you’ll be able to act quickly to have it put out and save your valuables, because you’ll know about it!
Don't Fret About Invalidating Your Warranty...
If your current fire alarm maintenance provider is letting you down but you’re worried that switching could invalidate a warranty following a recent installation, pass that burden our way.
At WFP, we offer secondary warranties on parts for fire alarm systems that weren’t originally installed by us. That means you can enjoy a better provider, a better product if you need something new, and a replacement if anything every goes wrong. Don’t settle for poor service, switch to a provider that will take care of you!
PLUS, if you’re a maintenance customer and need a system upgrade or a new fire alarm installed at a new site, we’ll not only provide you with a BAFE approved fire alarm design free of charge (worth £1,800-£2,500 depending on the size of your site), but you’ll also enjoy a 5-year parts-and-labour inclusive warranty for your installation!
Save Time & Money with a Spares Pack!
Sometimes during a maintenance visit, your engineer will identify that a device might need changing due to damage, wear-and-tear or age.
By having a spares pack on-site which are bespoke to your system, should this happen, the device (such as a detector, sounder or manual call point) can be quickly switched out without the need to wait or fork out for another attendance and the replacement part. A pretty ingenious idea!
