Fire alarm FAQs (Tower Hamlets)
Do I need Grade A or Grade D fire alarms in Tower Hamlets?
+
BS 5839-6 Grade D LD2 covers most owner-occupied dwellings and small HMOs across Tower Hamlets. Larger HMOs (3+ storeys or 5+ occupants in E1, E2, E3, E14) typically need Grade A LD2 with a dedicated panel. We survey before quoting — no guesswork.
How often do fire alarms need testing in Tower Hamlets?
+
Weekly user test, monthly visual, and a full annual service certificate under BS 5839-1 / BS 5839-6 for HMO and commercial premises. Tower Hamlets licensing officers expect the annual certificate on file at every inspection.
Can you replace defective heads and sounders during the same visit in Tower Hamlets?
+
Yes — our Tower Hamlets 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 Tower Hamlets HMO licensing require for fire alarms?
+
Mandatory HMO licensing across Tower Hamlets (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 Tower Hamlets 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 East London.
