What your equipment tells you

The same missing entry or dusty cylinder can point to different problems depending on the building type and who uses it.

Logbook blank for over a year
The testing schedule has lapsed entirely. A specialist reviews all equipment dates and rebuilds the record from scratch.
Extinguisher blocked by furniture
A lapsed logbook usually points to missed extinguisher service intervals or skipped weekly call point tests. A specialist firm reviews the equipment, checks siting and records what needs attention so testing resumes on schedule.
Call point test never recorded
Someone may be doing the check but not writing it down. The specialist sets up a proper weekly call point test record.

Checks during a maintenance visit

A specialist follows a set sequence because checking alarms before confirming extinguisher positions would miss how the two systems work together during a fire.

  1. Extinguisher service intervals

    The specialist reads each label to see if the extinguisher service intervals have been met and notes any that are overdue.

  2. Detector head condition

    Each smoke detector is inspected for dust, paint or damage that stops it sensing smoke, following fire alarm servicing advice for Maidstone premises.

  3. Call point operation

    The specialist triggers one manual call point during each visit to confirm the fire alarm panel receives the signal correctly. This check rules out wiring faults or panel failures and records the result in the site logbook.

  4. Siting against floor plans

    Equipment positions are compared to the escape routes so the specialist can offer extinguisher siting advice where coverage is thin.

If records conflict with physical labels, the specialist notes both dates and advises which governs the next service.
