FAQ About our smoke alarm testing services

How often should I conduct professional smoke alarm testing?

It is recommended to conduct professional smoke alarm testing annually to ensure all devices function correctly and comply with the BS5839-6 safety standards. For residential properties, this frequency helps catch potential malfunctions early, ensuring safety at all times. Additionally, consider testing after any significant renovation or electrical work.


Are there legal requirements for smoke alarm testing in residential properties?

Yes, in the UK, there are strict legal requirements for smoke alarm testing in residential properties. The law mandates that all residential buildings must have working smoke alarms installed on each storey and that these alarms be tested regularly to ensure functionality. Our service helps you comply with these regulations and maintain safety.


What brands or types of smoke alarms can you service?

Testar is equipped to service all major brands and types of smoke alarms. Whether your property uses conventional battery-operated alarms or interconnected hard-wired systems, our technicians have the expertise to ensure they are operating correctly and efficiently.

What is included in your smoke alarm testing report?

Our smoke alarm testing report provides a comprehensive overview of each alarm’s condition within your property. It includes details of the tests performed, results for each device, any faults identified, repairs or replacements made, and a certification of compliance if all standards are met.


How long does smoke alarm testing take?

The duration of smoke alarm testing depends on the number of smoke alarms in the property and the complexity of the system installed. Typically, testing an individual alarm takes only a few minutes, but for properties with multiple units, the process can take several hours.

Booking a Smoke Alarm Testing with Testar is straightforward. You can book online through our website or contact us directly. We offer discounts for repeat customers and those booking multiple services, providing an economical solution for comprehensive electrical safety management.


What should I do if a smoke alarm fails during testing?

If a smoke alarm fails during testing, it’s crucial to address the issue immediately. Our technicians can usually replace faulty units or parts on the spot, ensuring your system is fully operational before they leave. We stock a variety of smoke alarms and components to handle replacements quickly and efficiently.

Can you install new smoke alarms if required?

Yes, if during testing we find that additional smoke alarms are needed or existing ones need replacing, we can install new units. We provide advice on the best types of alarms for your specific needs and ensure that installation complies with legal and safety standards.


How can I prepare my property for smoke alarm testing?

To prepare for smoke alarm testing, ensure that all smoke detectors and heat detectors are accessible and that there is no furniture or other obstacles blocking access to them. Inform all occupants of the scheduled testing to avoid any confusion or disruption.


Do you provide warranties on new smoke alarms installed?

Yes, all new smoke alarms installed by Testar come with a manufacturer’s warranty, and we provide a service guarantee on the installation work. This ensures that any defects or issues within the warranty period are handled promptly and without additional cost.
