What we are usually called out to in Redbridge
Redbridge is suburban east London around a big town centre. Ilford is shops, offices and new blocks, with long high roads of shops and flats above running out through Seven Kings and Goodmayes; Woodford, Wanstead and South Woodford are large houses, schools and care homes; and many terraced houses across the borough are let as flats or shared houses.
Forty to fifty minutes from Southgate along the North Circular, which runs through Woodford and Redbridge.

What moves a fire safety price, and where the money actually goes
Care in buildings designed as houses
Some care homes and supported living services here run from large houses and extended villas rather than purpose-built homes. The alarm has to support the evacuation the staff actually carry out, usually moving residents away from the fire through the building rather than out of it, with zones small enough to find the fire fast and doors that close when the alarm sounds.
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 Redbridge: your questions
Do you cover Woodford and Wanstead as well as Ilford?
Yes, the whole borough: Ilford, Gants Hill, Barkingside, Seven Kings, Goodmayes, Chadwell Heath, Woodford, South Woodford and Wanstead.
Can you take over an existing system in Redbridge?
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 Redbridge that report usually starts with whether the zones are small enough for staff to find a fire fast.
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.
