What we are usually called out to in Havering
Havering is London’s eastern edge: green, suburban and centred on Romford, one of the biggest shopping and nightlife centres in east London, with its market, shopping centres, bars and clubs. Hornchurch and Upminster are houses, schools and care homes, and the rest of the borough is local high streets and small industrial estates.
The far east of what we cover, about fifty minutes to an hour from Southgate on the M25 or the A12.

What this building needs
Restaurants & takeaways
The kitchen is why the alarm keeps going off, and the fix is detector selection rather than an isolated zone.

What moves a fire safety price, and where the money actually goes
Venues that fill up at night
Bars, clubs and late-night venues are quiet all day and packed at night, often in buildings that were shops or offices first. The alarm has to be heard over the music, which usually means the sound system cuts out when the alarm goes off, and the staff need to know how to start an evacuation of a crowded room. The detectors also have to cope with haze and smoke effects without emptying the venue.
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 Havering: your questions
Do you cover Romford and Upminster?
Yes, the whole of Havering: Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster, Rainham, Harold Wood and Collier Row. It is the far east of what we cover, so tell us how urgent the job is when you book and we will say honestly how soon we can be there.
Can you take over an existing system in Havering?
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 Havering that report usually starts with how the system copes with a venue that is empty all day and full at night.
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.
