London City Fire Alarm Monitoring in London

Why 24/7 Monitoring is Essential

The Critical Role of Fire Alarm Monitoring

A fire alarm is your first line of defence, but what happens when no one is there to hear it? Our 24/7 monitoring service ensures that every fire alarm signal is immediately received and acted upon by trained professionals. This service is vital for:

  • Property Protection: Minimising damage by ensuring a rapid response.
  • Business Continuity: Reducing downtime and protecting your assets.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Meeting UK fire safety regulations and insurer requirements.

How does your fire alarm monitoring service work?

  • Our monitoring service connects your fire alarm system to a state-of-the-art Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). When an alarm is triggered, a signal is instantly transmitted to the ARC. Trained operators assess the situation and follow a pre-agreed action plan, which can include contacting the Fire Brigade, a keyholder, or other emergency contacts, ensuring the fastest possible response.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is your monitoring service compliant with UK regulations?
    • Yes. We partner with SMC, a company that holds NSI Gold accreditation, the highest standard in the UK security industry. Our services also help your business comply with key regulatory requirements, such as BS 5839, and meet the strict standards often required by insurers, ensuring your policy remains valid.
  • What happens during a false alarm?
    • False alarms are handled with a verification protocol to minimize unnecessary callouts to the Fire Brigade. The ARC operator can attempt to verify the alarm’s validity. This process is designed to save you from potential false alarm fines and ensure that emergency services are only dispatched when genuinely needed.
  • How often should I have my fire alarm system serviced?
    • To ensure reliability and compliance with UK regulations, BS 5839-1 requires two professional service visits per year (6-monthly) for most by a qualified professional. Our service contracts include regular maintenance and testing as part of a comprehensive fire safety solution.
  • Can your monitoring service work with my existing fire alarm system
    • In most cases, yes. Our technology is designed to be compatible with a wide range of fire alarm systems. We will conduct a full assessment of your current setup to ensure seamless integration with our Alarm Receiving Centre, providing you with a smooth transition to our monitored service.
Since 29 October 2024 the LFB no longer attends AFAs at most commercial buildings between 7am-8:30pm. Emergency plans must include a step to call 999 to confirm a real fire. This is a key reason monitoring matters.
