Fire Alarm FAQs

Q. Do I legally need a fire alarm?

Yes. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, most commercial, public and multi-occupancy buildings in the UK must have a working fire alarm system.

Conventional systems group detectors by area or ‘zone’. Addressable systems can identify the exact detector triggered, making fault-finding and evacuations faster.

You should carry out a manual test every week, and have the system professionally serviced every 6 months to stay compliant.

Yes – we can inspect, upgrade, or take over maintenance of most existing or legacy systems, even if we didn’t install them.

Yes. We can set up remote monitoring that alerts a control centre or the emergency services if your alarm is triggered – day or night.

Glossary: Fire Alarm Terms Explained

A quick guide to the key terms we use when talking about fire alarm systems.

TermWhat It Means
Conventional systemA basic system that splits the building into zones. Each zone is wired as a circuit and is best for small properties.
Addressable systemA more advanced system where each device has its own address. This helps quickly locate faults or triggered alarms.
Call pointA red manual switch (often “break glass”) that someone presses to trigger the fire alarm.
SounderThe siren or bell that makes a loud noise when the alarm is activated.
Fire panelThe main control unit that monitors all alarm devices and shows if there's a problem.
DetectorA device that senses smoke, heat or flame and sends a signal to the fire panel.
BS 5839The UK standard that sets the rules for how fire alarm systems should be designed and maintained.
L1–L5 categoriesThese show how much of a building is covered. L1 gives full protection everywhere. L5 covers only specific high-risk areas.
Weekly testA simple check done every week by a designated person to make sure the system still works.
Maintenance certificateA document proving that your fire alarm system has been professionally checked and serviced.
