Fire Alarm Servicing for Hotels in Leeds

Hawkesworth provides fire alarm servicing for hotels across Leeds, carried out by City & Guilds certified, DBS checked engineers. We work to British Standard 5839, remind you when your next service is due, and offer out-of-hours and weekend servicing at no extra charge.

What Fire Alarm Servicing Involves for Leeds Hotels 

Current regulations require all business premises in the UK and Ireland to have a fire detection system to alert occupants in case of a fire. That system needs regular testing and inspection by a competent person so it stays in full working order and so false alarms are kept to a minimum. 

Hawkesworth provides fire alarm servicing in line with British Standard 5839 for hotels across Leeds, from independent boutique properties to large city-centre groups.

How Often Should a Hotel Fire Alarm Be Tested and Serviced? 

British Standard 5839 advises that fire alarm systems are thoroughly tested every six months. For larger or higher-risk hotel properties, systems should be tested more frequently. 

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires all workplaces to keep their fire detection and alarm systems maintained in an efficient state and in good working order. In practice, this means two separate activities: 

• A weekly test, carried out by a competent person who knows the system, such as the building manager or a fire warden. It does not have to be an engineer or electrician. 

• A six-monthly service, which must be carried out by a specialist electrician or engineer.\

Out-of-Hours Fire Alarm Servicing Across Leeds 

Hotels run around the clock. Guests are checking in, conferences are running, and nobody wants a sounder test in the middle of a wedding reception. 

Hawkesworth offers out-of-hours and weekend servicing at no extra charge, so we can work around your occupancy and your events diary. Our engineers cover hotels across Leeds, including the city centre, properties near Leeds Bradford Airport, and in areas such as Headingley, Horsforth, Roundhay, Morley and Wetherby. 

For hotel groups with multiple locations, Hawkesworth offers exclusive pricing for businesses booking services across multiple sites, so you can choose a single end-to-end provider instead of negotiating with numerous local vendors.
