Frequently Asked Questions
How often should commercial fire alarms be serviced?
Under BS 5839-1, commercial fire alarm systems should be inspected and serviced by a competent engineer at least every six months. In higher-risk premises or where the system is more complex, quarterly visits may be recommended. Regular servicing also keeps you compliant with insurance requirements and fire authority expectations.
How often should fire alarms be tested by staff?
Weekly manual call point tests are recommended for most commercial premises under BS 5839-1 guidelines. These should be logged in your fire alarm logbook alongside any faults or false alarms. Professional servicing visits are separate from these routine weekly tests.
Which businesses need a fire risk assessment?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, almost all commercial premises in England and Wales require a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. This includes offices, restaurants, warehouses, retail units, schools, hospitality venues, and any building where employees or members of the public are present. The assessment must be carried out by a competent person and reviewed regularly.
What is the difference between a conventional and addressable fire alarm system?
A conventional system divides a building into zones, identifying which zone has triggered an alarm but not the specific device. An addressable system identifies the exact detector or call point that has activated, making it faster to locate an incident and easier to manage false alarms. Addressable systems are generally recommended for larger or more complex commercial premises.
Do you provide fire alarm maintenance for systems installed by other companies?
Yes. We maintain and service fire alarm systems from a wide range of manufacturers, including systems installed by other providers. Our engineers will carry out a full system assessment and provide you with a maintenance plan and compliance report going forward.
Do you provide emergency fire alarm repairs?
Yes. We provide emergency call-out services for fire alarm faults, system failures, and false alarm investigations across London. Our engineers aim to respond quickly to minimise downtime and keep your premises protected and compliant.
Which areas of London do you cover?

Do you install CCTV systems for businesses?
Yes. We design, supply, install, and maintain commercial CCTV systems for all types of business premises across London. Systems can include HD cameras, remote monitoring, and integration with existing access control or intruder alarm systems.

Yes. Astoria Fire & Security holds BAFE SP203-1 certification, the recognised accreditation for companies designing, installing, commissioning, and maintaining fire detection and alarm systems in the UK. BAFE certification is increasingly required by insurers and commercial landlords across London.
