A reliable fire alarm system is one of the most critical components of your property’s safety strategy. However, even the best fire alarms require regular maintenance to ensure they remain effective and compliant with UK fire safety regulations. At Luxco Contracts, we offer expert fire alarm maintenance services to keep your system in top working condition, providing peace of mind and maximum protection for your property and its occupants.
A properly maintained fire alarm system can mean the difference between swift detection and disaster. Regular maintenance helps to:
Ensure Reliability Faults or wear and tear can compromise the effectiveness of your fire alarm system. Maintenance ensures all components are functioning correctly.
Prevent False Alarms Regular inspections help reduce the likelihood of disruptive and costly false alarms.
Maintain Compliance UK regulations, including BS 5839, require fire alarms to be regularly inspected and serviced. Maintenance keeps your system in line with these standards.

What Does Fire Alarm Maintenance Include?
At Luxco Contracts, our comprehensive fire alarm maintenance services are designed to address all aspects of your system’s performance:
1. Visual Inspection
We start by visually inspecting the fire alarm system to check for any obvious signs of damage, wear, or tampering.
2. Functional Testing
Our team conducts thorough tests of key components, including detectors, control panels, sounders, and batteries, ensuring they operate as intended.
3. Cleaning and Adjustments
Dust, dirt, and environmental factors can affect the performance of detectors. We clean and recalibrate components as needed to ensure accuracy.
4. System Reporting
We review and update your fire alarm system logs, providing detailed records of maintenance work and any issues identified.
5. Recommendations and Repairs
If we find any faults or areas for improvement, we provide clear recommendations and can carry out repairs promptly.
Frequency of Fire Alarm Maintenance
UK fire safety standards recommend that fire alarm systems be professionally serviced at least twice a year. However, the specific frequency may vary depending on the size and nature of your property. High-risk environments or those with complex systems may require more frequent inspections.
The Risks of Neglecting Fire Alarm Maintenance
Failing to maintain your fire alarm system can have serious consequences, including:
Increased risk of undetected fires
Non-compliance with regulations, leading to potential fines or legal action
Higher likelihood of false alarms, causing unnecessary disruptions
Reduced system lifespan, resulting in higher costs over time
