Tailored Installation for Complex Commercial Properties
- Addressable Systems: Perfect for mid to large sized commercial spaces. We map every device individually so that your control panel identifies the exact room or corridor where an incident occurs, facilitating rapid evacuations.
- Conventional Networks: A cost effective and reliable choice for smaller, single level retail units or office spaces where complex zoning is not required.
- Wireless Networks: Ideal for London heritage properties, listed buildings, and busy environments where running extensive physical cabling is structurally impossible or heavily disruptive to daily commerce.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exact percentage of devices are tested during a standard six-monthly or quarterly service visit?
In strict compliance with BS 5839-1 section 45, we ensure that $100\%$ of all detectors, call points, and sounders are tested over a 12-month cycle. For quarterly contracts, we test a minimum of $25\%$ of devices per visit; for bi-annual contracts, we test $50\%$ per visit.
Will your maintenance checks include testing our cause-and-effect matrix, such as lift recalls and door releases?
Absolutely. True fire alarm maintenance goes beyond checking sensors. We test auxiliary relays to ensure the control panel successfully communicates with third-party systems—automatically releasing access-controlled doors, shutting down ventilation dampeners, and recalling passenger lifts during a simulated alert.
How do you handle older radioactive ionisation smoke detectors during a routine maintenance contract?
We test their sensitivity thresholds using specialised equipment. However, because ionisation detectors contain trace amounts of Americium-241 and are prone to false alarms from moisture, we will flag any aging units in your report and manage their safe disposal and replacement with modern optical or multi-sensor alternatives under Environment Agency guidelines.
If a tenant alters an office layout, does our existing maintenance contract cover the system adjustments?
Routine maintenance covers the testing of the system as it was originally commissioned. If structural changes or new partitions create "dead spots" or breach BS 5839-1 spacing rules, we can provide a separate variation quote to redesign, relocate, and re-commission the affected devices to keep the building compliant.
Do you test the standby battery capacity under full load conditions during a service?
Yes. We don't just check the voltage with a standard multimeter. Our engineers use specialised battery load testers to simulate a mains power failure. This verifies that your standby batteries can truly sustain the system for the legally required 24-hour (or 24-hour plus 30 minutes of full alarm status) threshold.
What happens if your engineer finds a critical fault that compromises building safety during a service?
If a fault renders a zone or the entire system inoperable, our engineer will immediately inform your designated Responsible Person on-site. We will issue an urgent "Critical Non-Compliance" notice and provide an immediate remediation quote, helping you implement a temporary fire watch if required by your insurance provider.
How do your maintenance visits minimise disruptions to our staff and IT infrastructure?
We coordinate sounder and voice-alarm testing during pre-agreed windows, typically early mornings or weekends. For critical environments like server rooms, we can temporarily isolate localised output relays or gas suppression systems during testing so that no accidental discharges or equipment shutdowns occur.
Are your engineers qualified to sign off on the BAFE SP203-1 Maintenance certificate?
Yes. Infinity Fire & Security holds full, third-party modular BAFE SP203-1 accreditation for Maintenance. After every service, you receive a formal Certificate of Testing, which acts as your definitive legal proof of compliance during London Fire Brigade audits or health and safety inspections.
Does our maintenance agreement include looking after the manual call points and testing keys?
Yes. We check the physical housing, operation, and glass/plastic elements of all manual call points. We also verify that your on-site team has the correct testing keys and training to perform your mandatory weekly user tests, which we cross-reference with your logbook entries.
