What each accreditation covers, and how to verify it

What we are usually called out to in Haringey

Haringey splits in two. Wood Green is retail, from the shopping centre down to the parades along the High Road. Tottenham is light manufacturing and storage. Running through both, N15 and N17 hold one of the densest concentrations of houses in multiple occupation anywhere in North London, and Tottenham Green sits in the middle of that with civic and community buildings among the housing.

Around fifteen minutes south of Southgate, and we are through N22 most weeks.

Fire safety services in Haringey

Every service we offer, in Haringey as across the rest of London: the assessment first, then the work it lists, then the servicing that keeps it signed off.

Buildings we work on in Haringey

Four building types that come up again and again across N8, N15, N17, N22, and what each one actually needs from a fire alarm system.

  1. Licensable HMOs

    BS 5839-6 systems specified to the right grade and category before the licence inspection, not after.

  2. Converted flats

    Detection in the common escape route as well as inside each dwelling.

  3. Retail units and parades

    Manual call points on the escape route and detection in stockrooms, where most retail fires start.

  4. Light industrial in N17

    Detector type chosen for the process rather than the price list.

Everything Haringey buildings need, one accredited team

The same services across N8, N15, N17, N22: the assessment first, then the work it specifies and the servicing that keeps it compliant.

What moves a fire safety price, and where the money actually goes

Getting the HMO grade right the first time

A licensable HMO is specified against BS 5839-6, and the two things landlords get wrong are the grade and the category. Grade A means a system with a control panel, mains-powered detection and a standby supply, which is what most licensable HMOs need. Grade D means interlinked mains detectors with no panel, which is cheaper and frequently what gets installed instead. Discovering the difference during a council licensing inspection is expensive, because the work is done twice and the licence waits.

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 Haringey: your questions

What system does a licensable HMO in Haringey need?

Most licensable HMOs need a Grade A system under BS 5839-6, meaning a panel, mains-powered detection and a standby supply. The exact category depends on the layout and the escape route, so it is decided at survey. We give you the specification in writing so you can show it to the council.

Can you take over an existing system in Haringey?

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 Haringey that report usually starts with whether the grade and category will survive a licensing inspection.

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.
