A fire protection system has to work on the one day it is needed, often after years of sitting silent. Regular maintenance is what keeps it ready, and it is also a legal requirement. MEP provides planned servicing and maintenance for the full range of fire suppression, detection and passive systems, keeping them reliable, compliant and fully documented so you can be confident they will perform and demonstrate that they have been properly cared for.
Our maintenance visits follow a structured schedule appropriate to each system. For gaseous systems this includes checking and weighing cylinders, inspecting pipework, valves, nozzles, and testing detection, alarms and interlocks. Sprinkler, detection and passive systems each have their own routine checks and tests. We identify and put right wear before it becomes a fault, replace parts as needed, and leave a clear record of the work and the system’s condition after every visit.
Those responsible for a building have a legal duty to keep its fire protection in good working order, and the standards set out how often systems should be serviced. We provide planned preventative maintenance to the relevant standards along with responsive support if a problem arises. This keeps your systems dependable and your compliance obligations met without you having to chase them.
