The Risks of DIY Maintenance
Many businesses attempt DIY fire alarm maintenance, relying on simple button tests or visual checks. Without professional servicing hidden faults can go unnoticed, making your system non-compliant, leading to devastating consequences in an emergency.
- Every component is tested beyond standard DIY checks.
- Your system meets BS 5839-1 and UK fire safety laws.
- Any faults are detected and fixed before they become serious risks.
stay compliant and protected
Your Fire Safety Legal Duties
At ClearView, our BAFE-certified engineers provide expert servicing for offices, warehouses, retail spaces, and large commercial sites — helping you meet legal and insurance requirements with complete confidence.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that:
-
Businesses must carry out a fire risk assessment.
-
They must have appropriate fire detection and warning systems in place.
-
Systems must be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order, and in good repair.
-
Maintenance should be by a competent person (typically meaning a professional engineer, not DIY).
-
Compliance with BS 5839-1 is considered best practice, but it’s not technically law — it supports legal compliance as the recognised standard.
