Fire Alarm Testing
Fire Alarm Testing Services
Electrical Testing UK provides fire alarm testing and maintenance for commercial sites, businesses, and public sector organisations across the UK.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, you must keep fire alarm systems in efficient working order and test them in line with BS 5839 requirements. Therefore, our qualified engineers carry out testing, identify faults, and provide clear service records and certification. As a result, you have the documentation needed to support fire safety compliance.

Fire Alarm Testing for All Properties
First, we carry out fire alarm testing across commercial, industrial, and public sector premises in line with BS 5839 requirements and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Moreover, we tailor each service to the risks and compliance needs of the environment.
- Commercial and business premises: Routine testing and inspections for offices, retail, warehouses, and other workplaces, with full service records provided
- Industrial sites and warehouses: Detailed testing of complex systems, including high-bay detection and integrated building systems, with thorough reporting
- Schools, colleges and educational buildings: Scheduled testing to minimise disruption, with documentation suitable for Ofsted and local authority audits

Fire Alarm Testing: FAQs
What is tested during a fire alarm service visit?
During a visit, we test control panels, call points, detectors, cabling, batteries, and system outputs. As a result, we can confirm full operation and fault-free performance.
How often must fire alarm systems be tested under BS 5839?
In short, systems require weekly call point tests and quarterly inspections of selected devices. In addition, a full annual service of all components is needed, with all results recorded in the logbook.
What happens when fire alarm testing identifies faults?
We report any faults clearly along with their severity. Then, where needed, we carry out remedial work to restore full system safety and compliance.
What fire alarm service records and documentation are provided?
After each visit, we issue a service record detailing what was tested, the results, and any actions taken. As a result, it forms part of your fire safety compliance records.
