Question 1

Where in Buckinghamshire are you based?

Accepted Answer

Unit 3 Globe Estate, Fieldhouse Lane, Marlow, Buckinghamshire SL7 1LW. It is where our stores are and where the engineers start their day, and visitors are welcome by appointment.

Question 2

Can you cover several sites across the county on one contract?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is usually the tidier way to do it. All the sites go on one schedule with one renewal date and one point of contact, and you get a single view of what is due where instead of chasing four separate contractors.

Question 3

How often does a fire alarm need servicing?

Accepted Answer

BS 5839-1 recommends a competent person services the system at least twice a year, with the responsible person doing a weekly call point test in between. We put the visits on a schedule and remind you before each one falls due.

Question 4

Do I legally need a fire risk assessment?

Accepted Answer

If you are the responsible person for a workplace or a building with common parts, yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires one and it has to be written down. We carry them out and give you a prioritised action plan rather than a list you cannot work through.
