How quickly can you arrange fire alarm installation or servicing in Hounslow?

Standard bookings in Hounslow are confirmed within one working day. For PPM contract customers, emergency call-outs (fire alarm fault, enforcement notice, post-incident) carry a 4-working-hour response.

How often should my fire alarm be serviced?

BS 5839-1 requires inspection and servicing at intervals not exceeding 6 months. We typically split this into two 6-monthly visits.

What is the difference between L1 and L2?

L1 provides detection in all areas (max protection of life). L2 covers escape routes, rooms opening onto them, and specific high-risk rooms. We recommend the lowest category that achieves the FRA objectives.
