Fire & Security System Maintenance | Testing & Servicing

Keep Your Systems Working

Fire and security systems need regular attention. Batteries age, detectors get contaminated, connections loosen and software needs checking. Without planned maintenance, reliability drops and you risk failing insurance or legal requirements.

RMEC provide planned preventative maintenance and testing for fire alarms, intruder systems, CCTV, access control and disabled refuge (EVC) systems. We work to the relevant British Standards and leave clear records after every visit.

            Why maintenance matters

            Regular testing reduces false alarms, catches faults early and demonstrates that you are managing fire and security risks responsibly — important for insurers, regulators and duty holders.

What Our Maintenance Covers

🔔

Fire Alarms

Panel checks, detector testing, call-point tests, sounder levels, battery and power supply inspection, cause-and-effect verification where required.

♿

Disabled Refuge (EVC)

Outstation and master station tests, audio quality, monitoring and battery checks in line with BS 5839-9.

🛡️

Security Systems

Intruder system walk tests, CCTV camera and recorder checks, access control reader and door checks.

📋

Records & Support

Service reports, log book updates, recommendations for remedial work, and responsive support when faults occur.

Typical Visit Schedule

For fire detection systems, BS 5839 recommends a combination of user checks and professional inspections. We tailor the contract to your building and risk level.

Weekly / monthly — guidance for your staff on simple user tests
Quarterly or six-monthly — professional inspection and testing of a proportion of devices
Annual — fuller system check, including batteries and power supplies

Security and EVC systems follow their own recommended intervals; we combine visits where it is practical to reduce disruption and cost.

Contracts & Reactive Support

We offer planned maintenance contracts so visits are scheduled in advance and costs are predictable. Reactive call-outs are available for faults between visits.

Whether you have a single site or multiple buildings, we can structure cover to suit you.
