At Barbon Fire Protection, we provide professional commercial fire alarm maintenance services across the UK. We help businesses stay compliant, reduce risk, and ensure their fire detection systems perform when it matters most.

With planned maintenance from Barbon Fire Protection, you gain confidence that your system is fully operational, properly documented, and aligned with current fire safety legislation.

If you are responsible for a commercial premises, regular fire alarm maintenance is not just best practice. It is a legal and operational necessity.

Why Commercial Fire Alarm Maintenance Is Essential

A commercial fire alarm system is designed to detect fire at the earliest possible stage and alert occupants so they can evacuate safely. 

However, without ongoing maintenance, even the most advanced systems can fail due to dust buildup, component wear, battery degradation, or unnoticed faults.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every non‑domestic building must have a ‘responsible person’ who ensures fire safety systems are maintained in efficient working order. This includes fire alarm systems, manual call points, sounders, and control panels.

Failure to maintain your fire alarm system can lead to:

  • Increased risk to life in the event of a fire
  • False alarms and unnecessary disruption
  • Non‑compliance with UK fire safety legislation
  • Potential enforcement action by fire authorities
  • Invalidated insurance policies following an incident

Regular commercial fire alarm servicing ensures your system remains reliable, compliant, and fit for purpose. It also supports your wider fire safety strategy, alongside services such as our Commercial Fire Risk Assessments.

The Benefits of Regular Fire Alarm Maintenance

  • Improved Safety

    A well‑maintained fire alarm system provides early warning, allowing occupants to evacuate quickly and safely in an emergency.

  • Reduced False Alarms

    Regular servicing helps prevent false activations caused by dust, faulty detectors, or degraded components, minimising disruption to your business.

  • Legal Compliance

    Documented maintenance supports compliance with the Fire Safety Order and British Standards, reducing the risk of enforcement action.

  • Insurance Protection

    Most insurers require evidence of ongoing fire alarm maintenance. Servicing helps protect your cover and supports claims if a fire occurs.

  • Cost Control

    Identifying faults early can prevent expensive emergency repairs or full system replacement later.

Who Is Responsible for Fire Alarm Maintenance?

In commercial premises, the ‘responsible person’ is legally required to ensure fire safety systems are maintained. This may be:

  • The building owner
  • A business owner or employer
  • A facilities or property manager
  • A managing agent

While some routine checks can be carried out internally, professional commercial fire alarm servicing must be completed by competent engineers. 

Barbon Fire Protection supports responsible persons by managing maintenance schedules, documentation, and compliance requirements on their behalf.

Commercial Fire Alarm Maintenance FAQs:

Do all commercial buildings need fire alarm maintenance

Yes. If a fire alarm system is installed, it must be kept in efficient working order under UK fire safety legislation. Regular maintenance is essential regardless of building size or occupancy.

What is BS 5839‑1?

BS 5839‑1 is the British Standard that sets out requirements for the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems in non‑domestic premises.

Can we carry out fire alarm maintenance ourselves?

Routine user tests can be completed in‑house, but professional servicing must be carried out by competent fire safety engineers to meet compliance requirements.

How long does a maintenance visit take?

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the system. Most routine servicing visits are completed efficiently with minimal disruption to your operations.

Do you provide maintenance contracts?

Yes. Barbon Fire Protection offers planned maintenance agreements tailored to your premises, ensuring servicing is completed on time and fully documented.
