Poor Maintenance Leads to Unnecessary Call Outs and System Failures
Poor alarm maintenance often leads to unnecessary call outs and system failures.
Our call-out data shows many activations could be avoided, common causes include dirty or damaged detectors, cobwebs, wiring faults, and incorrect alarm settings by untrained staff.
Rodents, insects, and even spiders can also trigger sensitive alarms.
Only around 20% of call outs are for genuine issues like vandalism, water leaks, or real fire risks highlighting how vital proper maintenance and training are.
Testimonials
“We have a annual service agreement with Walker to service on security systems. I’d recommend them to any company”
“Brilliant full integrated security system installed and maintained by Walker. Fast response to our enquires. Would recommend.”
The two lads upgrading the system have been absolutely brilliant. Their customer service skills are excellent – they accommodated every customer living in the building. They have done a really good job; they were very polite and cleaned up after themselves every day. Nothing seemed to be a problem to them. They are both a credit to Walker.”
“We are really happy with Walker’s teams work on our fire system. When the wiring proved worn due to its age they gave honest advice and helped us repair and maintain our system.”
Andy Ambrose came to service our alarm yesterday and we are very happy to report his service, attitute and helpfulness were of the highest order. He resolved a number of previous fudges in the alarm control box, gave us very useful advice and with his most pleasant manner he made sure we felt we got good service.
It is rare these days that you as a customer feel you are getting service beyond the ‘tick box requirements’. Andy achieved this and so we pass on to you our congratulations.
“I have been dealing with Walker for about 3 years now and in all fairness, I cannot fault them. Their response has always been speedy and servicing is carried out to a very high standard.”

Fire Alarm Servicing Maintenance Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Under BS 5839-1, fire alarm systems in commercial buildings must be serviced by a competent person at least every 6 months. Many businesses choose quarterly visits for extra peace of mind. Walker Fire provides tailored servicing schedules to keep you legally compliant and fully protected.
A full service checks your control panel, detectors, sounders, call points, and batteries against BS 5839 standards. We also review your logbook, issue compliance certificates, and replace consumables where needed. Our nationwide engineers ensure your system is safe and ready to perform in an emergency.
Only a competent, accredited provider should maintain your fire alarm. At Walker Fire, all engineers are BAFE and NSI Gold approved, meaning our work meets the highest UK fire safety standards recognised by insurers and regulators.
