Fire Safety Allied Electrical Bristol

Effective fire detection systems are an essential feature in any building. Regular fire alarm inspection and testing is key to ensuring your fire detection system is functioning correctly. Allied Electrical Services carry out fire alarm inspection and testing at a wide range of premises in Bristol. Whether you are the landlord of a HMO or the owner of a commercial property, our experienced team are on hand to ensure your building is properly protected and that you comply with all relevant regulations.

Why have a fire alarm inspection?

Here in the UK, there are strict regulations governing fire safety in buildings – whether they are used for commercial or residential purposes. As the landlord of a rental property or owner of a commercial site, you have certain legal responsibilities to maintain a safe environment for your tenants, employees, and service users. Regular testing and inspection of your fire alarm system helps you to fulfil that responsibility. Testing and inspection will ensure the fire system at your Bristol is working correctly and able to sound the alert in the event of a fire. 

Who can inspect my fire alarm system?

Your fire alarm system has an important job to do, and it is vital that the person you choose to maintain the system is able to do so effectively. It is essential that you choose a reputable, experienced and qualified company to carry out your fire alarm inspection. As a building owner or landlord, you are deemed responsible for ensuring your fire alarm systems are tested and inspected regularly. Failing to comply with fire alarm testing and inspection regulations can have serious consequences, including fines, legal action, and in extreme cases, loss of life. Always choose a reliable, experienced company who will help you to meet your responsibilities. 

What happens during a fire alarm inspection?

When the electrician arrives to conduct the fire alarm inspection at your Bristol property they will perform a series of checks. These include:

  • Inspecting the fire alarm control panel
  • Testing every detector and call point
  • Testing the batteries and power supply are working correctly
  • Checking all wiring and connections are correctly installed
  • Ensuring the programming is properly configured

After they have completed their inspection, you will be provided with a comprehensive report that details any faults that have been identified.

How often should fire alarm systems be inspected?

The answer to this question will be determined by both the type of fire alarm system to be inspected and the building it is protecting. The general answer is that your fire alarm system at your Bristol property should be tested and inspected by a qualified professional at least once every 6 months. This interval may decrease based on the complexity of the system and whether your building is deemed high risk. If you are unsure about the correct interval for your building, contact us at Allied Electrical Services, we will be happy to advise you.
