Fire alarm FAQs (Croydon)
Do I need Grade A or Grade D fire alarms in Croydon?
+
BS 5839-6 Grade D LD2 covers most owner-occupied dwellings and small HMOs across Croydon. Larger HMOs (3+ storeys or 5+ occupants in CR0, CR2, CR7, CR9, SE25) typically need Grade A LD2 with a dedicated panel. We survey before quoting — no guesswork.
How often do fire alarms need testing in Croydon?
+
Weekly user test, monthly visual, and a full annual service certificate under BS 5839-1 / BS 5839-6 for HMO and commercial premises. Croydon licensing officers expect the annual certificate on file at every inspection.
Can you replace defective heads and sounders during the same visit in Croydon?
+
Yes — our Croydon 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 Croydon HMO licensing require for fire alarms?
+
Mandatory HMO licensing across Croydon (and any selective licensing zones) requires a current BS 5839-6 Grade A or D LD2 certificate on file. We format reports in the council's preferred layout so renewals are signed off first time.
Will the certificate satisfy Croydon council and insurers?
+
Yes — NICEIC + IFSM accredited engineers, full BS 5839 compliance, signed certificate plus completed logbook. Accepted by every London council and every commercial-property insurer we've worked with in South London.
Do you offer out-of-hours testing in Croydon?
+
Yes — for hospitality, retail and 24/7 commercial sites in Croydon we schedule evenings, early mornings and weekends at no premium. Tenant disruption minimised; logbook updated on the night.
