Question 1

Where in Marlow 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

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 3

How often do fire extinguishers need servicing?

Accepted Answer

Annually, by a competent person, under BS 5306-3. Some types also need an extended service or overhaul every five or ten years depending on the extinguisher, and we flag those well in advance rather than on the day.

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.
