Fire Alarm System Maintenance
A fire alarm system is only effective if every component — from the smallest smoke detector to the central control panel — is functioning correctly. Dust, humidity, insects, and component ageing all degrade detector sensitivity over time, increasing the risk of false alarms or, worse, missed detections during an actual fire.
Our fire alarm maintenance programme covers addressable and conventional systems from all major manufacturers. Each service visit includes a full functional test of all detectors, call points, sounders, and strobes, plus a diagnostic review of the control panel event log to identify any fault history.
A service contract ensures your system remains compliant with OSHA Kenya requirements and your insurance obligations. We issue a compliance certificate after every service visit, providing the documentation you need for audits and government inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a fire alarm system be serviced in Kenya?
Under OSHA Kenya and BS 5839 guidelines, fire alarm systems should be fully tested and serviced every six months by a competent person. Annual contracts typically include two full service visits plus quarterly functional tests of detectors and call points.
What does a fire alarm maintenance contract include?
A fire alarm service contract includes smoke and heat detector testing, manual call point inspection, control panel diagnostics, sounder and strobe testing, battery and power supply checks, zone fault clearance, and a compliance service certificate issued after each visit.
Can you maintain addressable and conventional fire alarm systems?
Yes. Our technicians are trained on both conventional and addressable fire alarm systems from all major manufacturers. We can service and maintain systems installed by any contractor and issue the required compliance documentation.
What causes false fire alarms and can maintenance reduce them?
The most common causes of false alarms are dirty or ageing detectors, insects entering detector heads, and steam or dust from nearby activities triggering over-sensitive sensors. Regular cleaning, sensitivity testing, and zone review during maintenance visits significantly reduces false alarm rates.
