Monthly Fire Alarm Testing Completed in Bermondsey SE1 – February 2026

In February 2026, Willow Fire and Security engineers attended a residential block in Bermondsey SE1 to carry out the scheduled monthly fire alarm testing in line with BS 5839-1 recommendations. The property is a purpose-built block of flats with a communal fire alarm system covering the stair cores, corridors and plant areas. The visit formed part of the building’s ongoing compliance programme to ensure the system remains fully operational and legally compliant under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order.
During the visit, a manual call point was tested on rotation to confirm correct operation of the system and signal transmission to the main fire alarm control panel. All sounders operated correctly and were confirmed audible throughout the communal areas. The fire alarm panel was inspected for faults, historical event logs were reviewed, and no active faults were present at the time of testing. Standby batteries were visually inspected and checked for signs of corrosion or deterioration, with readings confirming they remain within acceptable limits.

Monthly fire alarm inspection Bermondsey London SE1Detector heads within the tested zone were also visually inspected to ensure they remain unobstructed and free from contamination. The system zoning chart was verified as present and accurate, and the logbook was updated to reflect the completed monthly test. No remedial works were required during this visit, and the system was left fully operational.
