Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a six‑monthly test take?
Typically 1–2 hours for small premises; larger multi‑storey sites may take half a day.
Will the alarms sound during business hours?
We can schedule out‑of‑hours visits or notify staff before brief sounder tests to minimise disruption.
What happens if faults are found?
Minor issues are fixed on the spot. For larger repairs we provide a quotation and schedule remedial work quickly.
Is my logbook still acceptable if it’s digital?
Yes—digital logs are valid as long as they capture dates, actions, results and engineer signatures.
