About this service
What we do and who this is for
A fire alarm system is only as reliable as its last test. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and BS 5839, the responsible person for any non-domestic building — landlords, letting agents, business owners, school leaders and facilities managers — has a legal duty to keep fire detection systems tested and properly maintained throughout their working life, not just correctly installed at the outset.
We provide fire alarm inspection, testing and ongoing maintenance across Nottingham and throughout the East Midlands, including Derby, Leicester, Mansfield and Newark-on-Trent, tailored to the property type and how often testing is required:
Landlords & HMOs — routine testing to meet landlord fire safety duties and HMO licensing conditions, with documentation for tenants and local authorities
Offices & commercial premises — scheduled testing that fits around your working hours, minimising disruption to staff
Schools & healthcare settings — testing carried out with safeguarding and occupancy needs in mind, including out-of-hours options
Restaurants & hospitality venues — testing scheduled around service hours to avoid disrupting trade
Warehouses & industrial sites — testing across larger, multi-zone systems with detailed reporting
Beyond the required periodic inspection, we also offer ongoing maintenance contracts with weekly, monthly or quarterly testing built around your system and sector, so responsibility for staying compliant doesn't fall entirely on you. Our NICEIC-approved engineers test every device to BS 5839 standards and issue clear, dated certification after every visit, whether you're based in Nottingham city centre or elsewhere across the East Midlands. Book your fire alarm test or set up an ongoing maintenance contract online today.
