What gets checked and recorded

Weekly tests versus engineer service
You press the test button weekly to confirm the panel registers a signal. The engineer dismantles devices, measures electrical values and replaces ageing components.
Logbook entries
Fire logbook help Greenford managers request ensures every visit, fault and repair is dated, signed and filed where an inspecting officer expects it.
Equipment replacement timelines
Manufacturers stamp a date on each extinguisher. A specialist firm reads that mark and advises whether the cylinder needs a full discharge test or outright replacement.
