When it comes to fire safety, regular maintenance isn’t just recommended—it’s essential. At Artius Fire Protection Ltd, we provide expert Fire Alarm Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) services throughout Hertford and surrounding areas, ensuring your fire detection systems remain in optimal working condition year-round.
What is Fire Alarm PPM and Why is it Essential?

- Early Fault Detection: Identify and address minor issues before they lead to system failures
- Extended System Lifespan: Regular maintenance significantly increases the longevity of your fire alarm system
- Reduced False Alarms: Properly maintained systems are less likely to trigger false alarms

Fire Alarm PPM FAQs
How often should fire alarm systems receive PPM?
British Standard BS 5839 recommends quarterly inspections as a minimum, with more frequent checks for high-risk environments. Our team will advise on the optimal maintenance schedule for your specific system and premises.
Can PPM be conducted outside business hours?
Absolutely. We understand the importance of minimising disruption to your operations and can arrange maintenance visits during evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your business best.
What documentation will I receive after PPM visits?
You’ll receive detailed reports documenting all inspections, tests performed, and any remedial actions taken or recommended. These records are essential for compliance and insurance purposes.
How long does a typical PPM visit take?
This depends on the size and complexity of your system. A quarterly inspection might take 2-3 hours for a small system, while annual comprehensive maintenance could require a full day or more for larger installations.
