What we are usually called out to in Brent
Brent mixes some of the newest buildings in London with some of the hardest-working. Wembley Park is new residential blocks, hotels and offices around the stadium, Park Royal on the southern edge is one of the largest industrial estates in London, and Kilburn, Willesden and Harlesden are high streets of shops with flats above and streets of Victorian houses split into flats.
Thirty to forty minutes from Southgate along the North Circular, which runs straight through the borough.

What moves a fire safety price, and where the money actually goes
New blocks after handover
A new block is handed over with a system that matches the design on the day. Then the commercial units are fitted out, the concierge office moves and the managing agent changes, and the zone plan and the cause and effect stop matching the building. A takeover audit puts the paperwork and the programming back in line with what is actually there.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person for the building (usually the employer, owner, landlord or managing agent) has to make sure a fire risk assessment is carried out and the fire precautions are kept working. Getting the design wrong is not just a technical problem, it is that duty left unmet.

Fire safety in Brent: your questions
Do you cover Park Royal?
Yes, including the parts that fall in Ealing and in Hammersmith and Fulham. Industrial units there are some of the jobs where the detector type matters most, so the survey starts with what happens in the unit all day.
Can you take over an existing system in Brent?
Yes. It starts with a free survey, then a takeover report, £250 + VAT for up to 15 devices. We test what is installed, tell you in writing whether it matches the building and the standard, and quote to take over the servicing. There is no gap in your cover while you switch. In Brent that report usually starts with whether a new block’s system is still programmed the way it was handed over.
How often does a commercial fire alarm have to be serviced?
BS 5839-1 recommends inspection and servicing by a competent person at least every six months. That does not change with the postcode. What changes is what the engineer should be looking at, which is why we survey the building rather than working from a checklist.
