Regular fire alarm maintenance is essential for ensuring the safety of your premises, its occupants, and your business continuity. A fire alarm system is only as effective as its condition allows, and without routine servicing, you run the risk of system failure, false alarms, and non-compliance with UK fire safety regulations. At FireRite, we specialise in comprehensive fire alarm maintenance services designed to keep your system fully operational, legally compliant, and ready to respond in the event of an emergency. Whether you manage a small office, a large commercial complex, or a multi-occupancy building, our experienced engineers provide tailored maintenance solutions that suit the unique needs of your property.
In accordance with BS 5839-1, fire alarm systems in commercial and non-domestic premises should be inspected and serviced by a competent person at least twice a year. For high-risk environments or complex systems, quarterly inspections may be required. During a FireRite maintenance visit, our engineers carry out a thorough inspection and functional testing of every component—smoke and heat detectors, manual call points, alarm sounders, control panels, batteries, and backup systems. We identify and rectify any faults, test for false alarm triggers, check system logs, and ensure that the entire system is communicating as it should. If any issues are detected, we provide clear, actionable recommendations and carry out repairs promptly where authorised.
Fire alarm maintenance is not just about ticking a compliance box—it’s a proactive step toward safeguarding lives and protecting assets. A faulty or neglected system could delay evacuation, fail to alert emergency services, or even result in enforcement action from the local fire authority. By investing in a scheduled maintenance plan with FireRite, you significantly reduce the likelihood of system failure, avoid costly disruptions caused by false alarms, and demonstrate a clear commitment to health and safety within your organisation. We also ensure all works are recorded in your fire logbook and issue service certificates for your compliance records.
Regular fire alarm maintenance is essential to ensure your system remains fully operational, compliant, and capable of providing early warning in the event of a fire. Over time, detectors can become obstructed by dust, batteries may degrade, and system faults can occur without visible signs. Routine servicing identifies and resolves these issues before they compromise your safety. In accordance with BS 5839-1, fire alarm systems in non-domestic premises should be professionally inspected at least every six months—or more frequently for high-risk environments. At FireRite, our experienced engineers carry out thorough inspections, testing every component of your system and ensuring full functionality across all zones and devices.
Beyond compliance, well-maintained fire alarms provide peace of mind and reduce costly disruptions caused by false alarms or unexpected faults. Our maintenance packages include a full service report, updates to your fire logbook, and expert advice on any upgrades or adjustments needed. Whether your system is conventional, addressable, or wireless, we tailor our maintenance service to the specific requirements of your building. FireRite also offers flexible service plans and 24/7 emergency support, giving you the confidence that your fire safety systems are in safe hands—reliable, responsive, and always ready when you need them most.
A reliable fire alarm system is not just about installation—it's about ongoing performance. Without regular checks, even minor faults can lead to major failures, leaving your property and occupants vulnerable. FireRite’s fire alarm maintenance service ensures every part of your system is operating exactly as it should, from detectors and sounders to backup power supplies. Our engineers use industry-standard procedures to test, clean, and calibrate each component, preventing system degradation and ensuring your alarms respond accurately and promptly in an emergency.
Maintaining your fire alarm system isn’t just good practice—it’s a critical part of your legal and safety obligations. We make it easy by offering tailored maintenance packages that fit around your business operations, whether you run a school, warehouse, office, or residential block. Our proactive approach means faults are caught early, false alarms are reduced, and costly emergency repairs are avoided. With FireRite, you benefit from expert care, transparent reporting, and the assurance that your system is always ready to protect lives and property.

I'm the development manager at Homespa House, in Cheltenham. Firerite came to install door magnets on three cross corridor fire doors on a property I manage. They were fantastic, especially Ryan Pritchard, he stayed late to make sure the job was completed, compliant and cleaned up after himself. He didn't stop working at all and took no breaks. A lovely guy. The office staff were also very efficient and made sure that the works were done in an appropriate time manor. Definitely my new go to company for fire related items.
Customer service is second to none! Highly recommend this company.
