Fire Alarm System Dilapidation Management

Most modern fire alarm systems - particularly those that detect smoke, heat or environmental issues - have a design life of 10 years. Therefore, it’s important to regularly assess the age, condition and functionality of fire safety equipment to ensure it's always working as it should be. As part of our fire alarm lifetime management service, we can not only help fix any equipment failures, but assist you in planning ahead for fire alarm replacement, or enhancement - ensuring your building, and its occupants, remain safe both now and in the future.

Proactive management of your fire alarm systems
Proactive management of your systems

By understanding the status of your current fire alarm systems, we can better prepare you to manage faults, failures and fire alarm replacement due to proactive planning.

Reports and fire alarm recommendations
Reports and recommendations

Drax 360’s system surveyors can provide an honest appraisal of your system, including fire alarm verification, together with a condition report and recommendations. Using this, we'll devise strategies on how to keep your building safe both now and in the future.

Active response to faults and failures
Active response to faults and failures

It is increasingly difficult to find spare parts for systems over 5 years old, which can cause issues if you aren’t prepared. We hold spare parts for many common systems, and can respond immediately to fire alarm faults and failures.

Proactive fire alarm verification

It’s easy to assume that your fire detection systems will work when called upon - but this isn’t always the case. While weekly audibility checks and regular maintenance can go a long way to ensuring that equipment is functioning properly, for businesses with multiple sites, this simply isn’t enough.

To avoid unexpected systems faults and catastrophic failure, it’s important that your fire alarm systems are proactively managed. Drax 360 can offer fire alarm verification right through to your systems’ end of life, better equipping you to deal with unexpected faults, and ensuring they are working as effectively as they should.

With our alarm verification and end of life service you can:

  • Get the spare parts or fire alarm replacements you need
  • Avoid unexpected faults or failure
  • Keep your building operational

Control equipment change

While many businesses will make an effort to build resilient fire plans, catastrophic system failure can put significant pressure on resources. With experience in complex sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing and education, Drax 360 is able to find solutions to even the most complex problems.

As a result of water ingress, for example, a fire alarm control panel may fail. If this happens in a hospital environment, it's the ‘responsible’ person’s task to manage a situation where a live building does not have fire detection cover. Mitigation might include implementing a ‘fire watch’ to avoid having to temporarily close all or part of a building. In any event, getting the system back into an operational state is a priority, by either replacing parts or even a whole control panel. 

Drax 360 can help you find these solutions - with our proactive management of your systems, rapid response to any problems, and strategic consultancy surrounding fire alarm replacement and verification.
