Fire Alarm Installation Terms & Conditions

important legal information

The Installation and Wiring

  1. Our proposal is based on free access to all areas of installation and continuous, unimpeded working whilst on site. Unless specifically requested and otherwise confirmed in writing, we have not made allowance for any site-specific Health and Safety requirements other than our won reasonable care and attention in carrying out the works.
  2. A 5 amp 240V a.c. mains fused, non-switched, electrical spur will be required adjacent to the agreed location of the control units. This spur should be solely for use with the fire alarm system and be derived from the isolator described in item 2.
  3. Whilst all reasonable care will be taken to propose a suitable number of alarm sounder, acoustics are affected by furnishings, people and structural materials etc. For this reason, the fire alarm sounders will be subject to an audibility test. Any additional sounders subsequently required will be charged as extra.
  4. This specification has been prepared taking into account all information available to the surveyor and is considered to be the best suited for the system type specified. Should the client consider that the degree of protection is in excess of the requirements or alternatively, that greater coverage is required the Company’s surveyor will be please to discuss the matter further.
  5. The installation will comply with the system requirements and any wiring will be in the cable appropriate to the equipment being installed. A pre-wire will be undertaken to put the cables into the walls before they are closed by the builders.
  6. We have assumed that the work will be carried out continuously during normal working hours of between 09.00- 5.00 Monday to Friday, excluding Bank Holidays. Access will be required to all areas where the alarm is to be installed by the Engineer and is priced in the expectation that they will not be unduly delayed. The installations will be carried out from a 240 V a.c. mains source to be supplied by the customer as at 3. A 240V Un-switched Fused spur unit will be required in the area where the new Fire Alarm Control Panel is to be located.
  7. We have allowed for the cutting of any chases or holes where necessary to facilitate the installation of the system and no allowance has been made for any making good or redecorating.

Schedule of Works

On being handed over a period of tweaking settings maybe (but not always) required, this is known as a ‘Soak period’, where any problems not foreseen are configured out until a stable system which does not generate alarms falsely is established. We will issue the necessary certification for the job.

Commissioning

On Completion of the installation and wiring work our engineers will carry out complete commissioning and testing of the security systems.

Qualifications

  • Standard working hours are between 08.00 – 17.00 Monday – Friday. Outside these times labour will be charged as stated below:
  • The labour charges have been calculated on the understanding that time on site will not be unduly interrupted or working prevented and if so additional charges may be applied.
  • No allowance has been made for the provision of access equipment (including harnesses) if required and if not available on site will be hired from a local supplier and charged back at cost.

All faults found during a service visit will be repaired following on site authorisation. User errors or unwanted alarm reset call outs are chargeable.

Access

Free and uninhibited access for our engineers will be provided for by the client subject to a minimum of 1 week’s notice of attendance being provided by Fire & Safety Solutions Ltd

Fire & Safety Solutions Ltd engineers use proprietary testing equipment, the provisions of specialist access equipment ie towers/lifters are not provided or costs included within the above sum and are the responsibility of the client to provide.

Should access be restricted ie by the Client reducing hours available to work then priority will be given to call points and accessible smoke detectors for functional testing. Remaining devices will be checked by looking at the analogue device values and where possible simulate the device going into alarm. Fire & Safety Solutions Ltd cannot be held responsible for the non compliance of this testing due to third party restrictions and advises the client to seek to allow for the testing to be done out of hours in compliance with the Standard.

Liability

The client shall indemnify Fire & Safety Solutions Ltd against all claims for loss, injury or damages arising out of the use, operation, breakdown or failure of the equipment or consequential losses arising there from unless caused directly by the negligence, error or omission of Fire & Safety Solutions Ltd, its severants or agents.
