Fire Alarm Servicing for Offices
Office premises change layout more often than most, and fire alarm servicing is usually one line on somebody's facilities list. FirePulse puts the monitored alarm, servicing and certification on one monthly contract so it is not an ongoing admin job.
What makes an office different
Offices are reconfigured. Desks move, rooms are partitioned and floors are sublet, and the alarm system that suited the original layout may not match the current one.
Responsibility is often shared between a landlord, a managing agent and the tenant, which is exactly how servicing falls between stools.
Whoever ends up holding the fire alarm question usually has a dozen other facilities items on the same list.
Areas the survey looks at
Open plan floors
Layouts that change, which affects detection and audibility.
Meeting rooms
Enclosed rooms in use through the day.
Comms and plant rooms
Equipment rooms with their own detection considerations.
Shared buildings
Multi tenant buildings where responsibility needs to be clear.
Records and inspections
Managing agents and insurers frequently request fire alarm servicing records and certification for office premises.
Our inspection preparation page sets out what to have to hand.
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
We are a tenant. Can we arrange this ourselves?
Often yes, though it is worth confirming the position with your landlord or managing agent first. Tell us the arrangement and we will work with it.
Our layout has changed since the alarm was installed. Does that matter?
It can. The survey looks at the premises as it is now rather than as it was.
Can several floors or offices be on one contract?
Yes. Our multi site contracts page covers arrangements across premises.
What is included each month?
The monitored fire alarm, ongoing servicing and the relevant FirePulse servicing certification.
