Fire Alarm Inspection

Protect lives, meet your legal obligations, and avoid fines with a certified fire alarm inspection certificate from Manchester EICR Limited. We provide fire alarm testing services across Greater Manchester for landlords, letting agents, businesses, and public buildings.

Is Fire Alarm Testing a Legal Requirement?

Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires responsible persons — including landlords and business owners — to ensure all fire alarm systems are:

Fully operational
Functionally tested weekly
Professionally inspected every 6 or 12 months (depending on system type)

You must keep written records and have a valid fire alarm inspection certificate issued by a competent professional. Non-compliance may result in enforcement notices or prosecution.

What’s Included in a Fire Alarm Inspection?

Your inspection is carried out by a qualified NICEIC electrician in Manchester in accordance with BS 5839-1. It includes:

Full system inspection
Control panel functionality check
Test of detectors, sounders, call points
Zone chart and battery checks
Logbook review and certification

We’ll issue your fire alarm certificate (PDF) same day and help you plan future maintenance or remedial work if needed.
