Question 1

Do you cover the Cressex and Booker industrial estates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, along with the rest of High Wycombe. Our base is Unit 3 Globe Estate, Fieldhouse Lane, Marlow SL7 1LW, so the whole of Wycombe is part of our normal working patch.

Question 2

Our warehouse alarm keeps going off. Can that be fixed?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes. Unwanted alarms in warehousing and workshops are most often down to the wrong detector type in the wrong place - smoke detection where heat or beam detection belongs, or heads sited near loading doors and dust. We survey it and tell you what is causing it before quoting anything.

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.
