Fire Alarm Servicing for Charities & Community Buildings

Professional Fire Alarm Maintenance for Community Centres, Village Halls, Churches & Charitable Organisations

At Kings Fire, we provide fully compliant fire alarm servicing for charities, community buildings, churches, village halls, and voluntary sector facilities throughout Bedfordshire, the Home Counties and London.

These buildings often face unique challenges—volunteer-run operations, irregular occupancy, varied activities, fundraising events, and public footfall. Our qualified engineers ensure your fire alarm system is serviced to BS 5839-1, reliable, and ready to protect staff, volunteers, visitors, and your wider community at all times.

We work flexibly around bookings, events, worship schedules, and group sessions to minimise disruption and make compliance simple and manageable for volunteer-led teams.

📋 What's Included in our Fire Alarm Service for Charities and Community Buildings

Every service visit includes:

• Full inspection & testing in accordance with BS 5839-1

• Testing of sounders, detectors, manual call points & panel functions

• Review of system logs and investigation of fault history

• Environmental checks (dirt ingress, detector obstructions, cable condition)

• All minor adjustments carried out during the visit

• Clear, fixed-rate pricing with no hidden fees

• Digital service reports issued the same day

• Logbook updates completed onsite

• Automatic service reminders to keep you compliant

🏫 Fire Alarm Solutions We Maintain

Community buildings frequently contain a mix of system types due to phased upgrades and funding cycles. We service and maintain:

• Conventional fire alarm systems

• Addressable fire alarm systems

• Hybrid or partially upgraded systems

• Wireless fire alarms (ideal for heritage buildings)

• Specialist detection for kitchens, boiler rooms & storage areas

• Smoke/heat detection for multi-use halls and community rooms

We also complete remedial works, system upgrades, and phased improvement plans where funding must be staged.

🔥 24/7 Fire Alarm Monitoring with EMCS

Many community buildings are unoccupied for long periods or rely on volunteer attendance. For additional protection, we offer:

• 24/7 monitoring via EMCS (UK's largest independent ARC)

• Alarm activation alerts

• Fire brigade response options

• Full integration with existing fire alarm panels

This ensures your building is protected even when no staff or volunteers are on site.

🔄 Weekly Fire Alarm Testing Services

Where buildings operate irregularly or rely on volunteers, weekly testing can be difficult to maintain. Kings Fire provides scheduled weekly testing to ensure:

• BS 5839-1 compliance

• Full logbook documentation

• Early identification of system faults

• Peace of mind for managers and trustees

We adapt testing times around hall usage, worship times and community events.

💡 Emergency Light Testing

Many community buildings combine their fire alarm servicing with emergency lighting testing to reduce costs and streamline compliance. We test:

• Emergency light fittings

• Exit signs

• Batteries & discharge performance

Full reports and recommendations are provided.

📧 Digital Reporting & Easy Compliance

Every charity, church or community building receives:

• Digital fire alarm servicing certificates

• Detailed fault or recommendation reports

• Asset list of all devices on the system

• Paperless document storage for easy auditing

Perfect for trustees, church wardens, centre managers and volunteer committees.
