Fire alarm FAQs (City of London)
Do I need Grade A or Grade D fire alarms in City of London?
+
BS 5839-6 Grade D LD2 covers most owner-occupied dwellings and small HMOs across City of London. Larger HMOs (3+ storeys or 5+ occupants in EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4) typically need Grade A LD2 with a dedicated panel. We survey before quoting — no guesswork.
How often do fire alarms need testing in City of London?
+
Weekly user test, monthly visual, and a full annual service certificate under BS 5839-1 / BS 5839-6 for HMO and commercial premises. City of London licensing officers expect the annual certificate on file at every inspection.
Can you replace defective heads and sounders during the same visit in City of London?
+
Yes — our City of London engineers carry Aico, Kidde, Hochiki and Apollo stock. Defective heads are swapped on the spot; system faults are quoted in writing before any extended work begins.
What does City of London HMO licensing require for fire alarms?

Will the certificate satisfy City of London council and insurers?
