Uncompromising Life-Safety Engineering Protecting Occupants, Assets & Duty Holders
Fire detection and emergency lighting represent statutory non-negotiables. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and the Building Safety Act 2022, building owners and managing agents bear strict personal liability for compliant life-safety systems.
EntireFM provides complete life-safety lifecycle care. From weekly bell tests and quarterly addressable loop inspections to annual 3-hour battery discharge audits, fire damper drop tests, and dry riser hydrostatic pressure certification.
Every test is logged electronically in EntireCAFM, ensuring your statutory compliance dossier is always inspection-ready.
Addressable Fire Alarm & Life Safety Panel Testing
EntireFM On-Site Engineering OperationsComprehensive Fire & Emergency Systems Maintenance
Strict adherence to British Standards (BS 5839, BS 5266, BS 9999, BS 9990) delivering robust protection and audit certainty.
Addressable Fire Alarm Testing & Maintenance
Systematic testing of optical smoke sensors, heat detectors, manual call points, sounder beacon arrays, aspirating systems (VESDA), and cause-and-effect interface relays.
Statutory 3-Hour Emergency Lighting Discharge Audits
Monthly functional flicker tests and annual 3-hour full duration battery discharge testing across all maintained and non-maintained luminaires, illuminated exit signs, and central battery units.
Fire Damper Drop Testing & HVAC Smoke Containment
Physical inspection and drop testing of HVAC fusible link and motorized fire dampers in fire barrier walls, clearing debris and testing microswitch feedback to the building management system.
Dry Riser Testing & Gaseous Suppression Plant
Hydrostatic pressure testing of dry risers to 12 bar, flow rate testing on wet risers, and annual cylinder weight checks for server room gaseous fire suppression systems.
The Fire Safety & Life-Safety Matrix
Statutory fire compliance is zero-tolerance. From addressable sensor arrays and 3-hour emergency lighting discharge tests to damper drops and digital golden thread archives, explore how EntireFM protects your estate and duty holders.
