Every fire safety service a London building needs
Every service from one accredited London team, and the British Standard or regulation each one is worked to, named against it. Start with the fire risk assessment if you are not sure: it is the document that decides the rest.

What happens when you get in touch
The same four steps whichever of the sixteen you need, with the price agreed in writing before anyone starts.
-
01
Tell us about the building
One call, or 60 seconds on the form. You speak to an engineer rather than a call centre.
-
02
Free survey and written quote
We walk the premises, explain what the law asks of you, and put the price in writing. No obligation.
-
03
Work done and certified
Carried out to the relevant British Standard, commissioned properly, and certificated on completion.
-
04
Serviced, year after year
Six-monthly visits with a written report every time, so compliance never quietly lapses.
What booking one accredited team actually changes
The difference between sixteen services under one registration and sixteen separate suppliers shows up in the paperwork long before it shows up in the price.
- Renewal dates One schedule covering the assessment, the alarm, the emergency lighting and the extinguishers. One diary Four contractors, four renewal dates, and nobody owning the gaps between them.
- Acting on the assessment The engineers who read the fire risk assessment are the ones who carry out what it specifies. No handoff The assessment sits with one firm and the remedial work with another, so its findings go unactioned for months.
- Paperwork One set of certificates, issued after every visit and filed the same way each time. Insurer ready Certificates arrive in four formats, and the one your insurer asks for is the one nobody can find.
- A fault on a Friday One number, and the engineer already knows the system. 24 to 48 hours You start by working out which supplier covers the panel.
BAFE SP203-1 covers the fire detection and alarm work. The other services are carried out to the standards named at the top of this page.
Good to know before you book
Can one company handle all of our fire safety?
Yes. Flame Shield London designs, installs, services and certifies fire alarm systems, and also carries out fire risk assessments, emergency lighting, extinguisher servicing, fire door checks and staff training. One accredited team, one number to call, one set of paperwork. Our BAFE SP203-1 registration covers the alarm work; every other service is carried out to the British Standard named against it above.
Do you only work on systems you installed?
No. Takeover of existing systems is one of our core services, whoever installed them. The takeover audit is free: we inspect the system, report on its condition and compliance, and quote to take over the servicing with no gap in cover.
Which service should I book if I do not know what the building needs?
Start with the fire risk assessment. It is the duty the Fire Safety Order 2005 places on the Responsible Person, and it is the document that decides the alarm category, the emergency lighting, the extinguishers and the door schedule. Everything else on this page follows from what it finds.
What does the free survey include?
An accredited engineer visits your premises, looks at what the building needs, explains what the law requires, and gives you a clear written quote. It is free, with no obligation, and we explain the price before any work starts.
