Keep Your Alarm System Protected
Planned intruder alarm maintenance helps keep your system reliable and ready to respond when needed.
Our engineers inspect and test the system’s detectors, warning devices, control equipment, power supplies and communications. We also identify developing faults and provide clear recommendations where repairs or upgrades are required.
Maintenance agreements are available for systems installed by Ashley Fire & Security and many systems installed by other companies, subject to an initial assessment.
CCTV You Can Rely On
A CCTV system is only useful if it produces clear, accessible recordings when an incident occurs.
Our planned maintenance checks camera views, image quality, recording, playback, storage, date and time settings, power and network connections. Where applicable, we can also review remote access and monitoring arrangements.
Any faults, deterioration or obsolete equipment will be clearly recorded, with recommendations provided where further work is required.
Fire alarm maintenance
We inspect and test the agreed system functions, including control equipment, detection, call points, sounders and power supplies. A service report records the work completed and any defects or recommendations.
The visit schedule is agreed for the premises and system. Share your existing maintenance records and requirements when requesting a quotation.
Control Who Enters.
Access control maintenance helps keep doors secure while ensuring authorised users and emergency-release arrangements continue to operate correctly.
Our engineers can inspect and test readers, keypads, electronic locks, door contacts, exit devices, power supplies and backup batteries. Where applicable, we also check system communications, event records and agreed fire alarm interfaces.
We clearly report any faults, worn equipment or recommended remedial work.
Emergency lighting maintenance
We inspect emergency lighting equipment and carry out the agreed tests, recording results and defects. Planned maintenance works alongside the routine checks and records kept by the person responsible for the premises.
Taking over an existing system
A change of maintenance provider does not always require replacement equipment. We first assess the system’s condition, operation, access arrangements and ongoing technical support.
We then explain whether it can be accepted for maintenance, needs remedial work or would benefit from an upgrade. Any proposed work and charges are discussed before you commit.
Understand your maintenance agreement
