When it comes to fire and smoke curtain systems, maintenance isn’t optional, it’s a legal and moral responsibility. These are not just pieces of equipment; they are life safety systems designed to protect people, buildings, and assets in the event of a fire.
Yet, far too often, systems go untested or neglected until it’s too late. That’s why A1S Group’s Maintenance Contracts are designed to remove uncertainty and ensure every system continues to perform exactly as designed; every time!
Guaranteed Peace of Mind
Under the UK’s Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person (whether a facilities manager, employer, or building owner) must ensure all fire safety systems are regularly inspected and maintained by competent professionals.
Fire and smoke curtains fall under this legislation and must be serviced at least every six months in accordance with BS 8524 and BS EN 12101. Failure to comply can lead to fines, prosecution, or, in the worst cases, catastrophic loss of life and invalidated insurance.
A maintenance contract with A1S Group provides complete peace of mind that these legal obligations are consistently met. Every visit includes certified testing, inspection, and full documentation, ensuring compliance is effortless and traceable.
The Hidden Cost of Neglect
A single unplanned failure can disrupt operations, delay projects, or compromise evacuation routes. Reactive repairs are not only more expensive but can also expose building owners to regulatory risk.
Through preventative maintenance, A1S identifies potential issues early, reducing the risk of costly downtime and keeping systems in optimal condition. This approach doesn’t just save money, it safeguards reputations and lives.
