Questions from Norwich clients

Frequently asked questions

How often should a fire alarm be serviced in Norwich?

BS 5839-1:2025 recommends servicing by a competent person at intervals not exceeding six months (within a five to seven month window), with every detector, call point and sounder tested over each twelve-month cycle.

Who is responsible for fire alarm testing?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 the Responsible Person must keep the system in efficient working order. That includes a weekly user test from a different call point each week, recorded in the logbook, plus professional servicing.

Do you issue a fire alarm certificate?

Yes. Each service visit produces a certificate and logbook entry recording the devices tested, any faults found and the recommended actions, which you can show to insurers, fire officers and licensing teams.

Are you NICEIC approved?

Yes. Polarity Electrics London Ltd is an NICEIC Approved Contractor (#602034000).
