Fire Alarm Servicing for Dental Practices
A dental practice runs to a booked diary, so fire alarm work has to fit around surgeries in use. FirePulse puts the monitored alarm, servicing and certification on one monthly contract, and where the approved FirePulse installation applies the install is completed in one working day.
What makes a practice different
The diary is the constraint. Appointments are booked weeks ahead, so an alarm company arriving for three days of cable work is not a small inconvenience, it is cancelled patients.
Practices also carry a lot of documentation already. Fire alarm records are one more set of paperwork to keep, and they tend to be the set nobody can find when a request arrives.
Surgeries, decontamination areas, a reception and a waiting area are all used differently, which is why the specification comes from a survey rather than a template.
Areas the survey looks at
Surgeries in use
Rooms that cannot be handed over for days at a time while work goes on.
Reception and waiting
Occupied public areas where an alarm needs to be heard and acted on.
Decontamination and plant
Back of house areas with equipment and their own detection considerations.
Records
Servicing records and certification kept in one place rather than several drawers.
Records and inspections
Requests for fire alarm paperwork can come from an insurer, a landlord or an inspection, usually at short notice.
The practical step is knowing where the servicing records and certification are, and whether the system is in known working order. Our inspection preparation page covers that.
What FirePulse covers for this premises type
- Monitored fire alarm, specified from a survey of the premises
- Ongoing servicing under one monthly contract
- The relevant FirePulse servicing certification
- One supplier, one number and one predictable monthly figure
FirePulse covers the monitored fire alarm, its servicing and the relevant servicing certification. It does not cover every fire safety responsibility a premises may have, and no inspection outcome is promised.
Common questions
Will installation interrupt patient appointments?
Where the approved FirePulse installation applies, the work is completed in one working day. The survey confirms the position for your practice before anything is booked.
What does the monthly contract cover for a practice?
The monitored fire alarm, ongoing servicing and the relevant FirePulse servicing certification.
We have an alarm already. Does it need replacing?
Not necessarily. It depends on the system and its condition, which is what the survey establishes.
Who carries out the work?
ADS Group engineers. ADS Group has been trading since 2003 and holds more than 1,300 active contracts.
