Home / Fire Alarm & Smoke Alarm Testing
Fire detection installed, tested and certified.
From mains-linked smoke and heat alarms in a rented home to a full addressable fire alarm system in a commercial building, detection has to be installed and maintained to the right grade. We work to BS 5839, and to the smoke and carbon monoxide alarm rules for rented housing.
Homes and business
The right system, correctly maintained.
The requirements differ by building. We advise on the correct category and grade, install or service the system, and certify it so it stands up to a fire risk assessment or a council inspection.
- Commercial fire alarms to BS 5839-1. Design, installation and periodic servicing of conventional and addressable systems.
- Domestic detection to BS 5839-6. Mains-linked, interlinked smoke and heat alarms at the correct grade for the property.
- Landlord smoke & CO compliance. A smoke alarm on every storey and a CO alarm in rooms with a fixed combustion appliance, as the regulations require.
- Documented testing. Weekly-test guidance, periodic servicing and a certificate for your records and insurers.

Common questions
Good to know before you book.

Ask a questionWhat smoke alarms must a landlord provide?
In England, at least one smoke alarm is required on every storey used as living accommodation, with a carbon monoxide alarm in any room containing a fixed combustion appliance other than a gas cooker. Alarms must be repaired or replaced once a tenant reports that they are faulty.
Do commercial systems need regular servicing?
Yes. BS 5839-1 recommends servicing at least every six months for most systems, alongside the routine weekly user test. We can service under contract.
Should alarms be interlinked?
For rented homes we fit interlinked, mains-powered alarms so that when one sounds they all sound — the current recommendation for Grade D detection.
Can you take over an existing system?
Yes. We can inspect, service and certify most existing conventional and addressable systems, and advise if any part is beyond economic repair.
