C-TEC systems, in certified hands
Certified engineers, manufacturer parts and the servicing regime BS 5839-1 asks for.
-
Certified engineers
C-TEC certified for installation and service across the panel and device range.
-
Repairs, not workarounds
Correct parts and configuration, so a fault is closed out rather than silenced.
-
Serviced to BS 5839-1
Six-monthly servicing with a certificate and written report after every visit.
-
Takeover report
If a C-TEC system was installed by someone else, we test every device before we take it on.
Why use a C-TEC certified installer?
A team that works with C-TEC panels day to day configures, services and repairs them more reliably than a general contractor meeting the range for the first time. Flame Shield London is C-TEC certified, BAFE registered and an approved Fike and C-TEC installer, and our technicians are fully qualified and BAFE certified. New system, inherited system or a fault on the panel, you are dealing with people who know the kit.
Direct answer: Flame Shield London is C-TEC certified. We install, commission, service and repair C-TEC fire alarm systems to BS 5839-1, and we can take over a C-TEC system another company installed, with a takeover report first.
What we do with C-TEC systems
- Installation and commissioning of new C-TEC systems, conventional or addressable, to the right BS 5839-1 category.
- Servicing and maintenance, six-monthly, with a certificate after every visit.
- Takeover of C-TEC systems installed by others, with a takeover report first.
- Fault-finding and repair, from panel and battery faults to device and wiring problems.
C-TEC panel showing a fault?
If your C-TEC panel is showing a fault, call 020 3393 1661 during opening hours and tell us what it is displaying. Some faults, such as a battery warning, can be narrowed down over the phone. Where a visit is needed we will put it right and certificate the system. We do not advertise 24/7 callout; our phone is answered during opening hours.
A C-TEC system, serviced by people who know it
Both jobs get called the same thing on the invoice. This is what actually differs.
- Access Certified engineers with the correct parts and configuration C-TEC certified Guesswork on configuration and generic replacement parts
- Diagnosis The fault traced and closed out, then verified Closed out Faults silenced at the panel and left in place
- Servicing Six-monthly service to BS 5839-1, with certificate and written report Every visit A visit with nothing to show for it afterwards
- Switching A takeover report and no gap in your cover Takeover report Locked to the original installer

C-TEC fire alarm service: your questions answered
Are you certified for C-TEC fire alarm systems?
Yes. Flame Shield London is C-TEC certified, BAFE registered and an approved Fike and C-TEC installer. We install, commission, service and maintain C-TEC fire alarm systems, and our technicians are fully qualified and BAFE certified.
Can you take over a C-TEC system installed by someone else?
Yes. You are not tied to whoever installed your C-TEC panel. We take over C-TEC systems from other providers, starting with a free survey and then a takeover report, £250 + VAT for up to 15 devices. We test the system, report on its condition and compliance, and put it onto a maintenance schedule.
My C-TEC panel has a fault. What should I do?
Call us on 020 3393 1661 (Mon to Fri 9am to 7pm, Sat 10am to 3pm) and describe what the panel is showing. Some C-TEC faults, such as a battery warning, can be narrowed down over the phone. Where a visit is needed we will diagnose and repair the fault and certificate the system afterwards.
Do you service both conventional and addressable C-TEC systems?
Yes. We service and maintain both conventional and addressable C-TEC systems to BS 5839-1, with a certificate issued after every service visit.
