PROPERTY MANAGERS

Property Managers Choose Pyrocel...

At Pyrocel, we understand that keeping your property compliant, secure, and safe is non-negotiable. That’s why we provide reliable, professional fire and security services designed specifically with property managers in mind.

Here’s why Pyrocel stands out:

✅ Weekly Fire Alarm Testing

🔥 1. Weekly Fire Alarm Testing (BS 5839 1:2025)

📌 Regulatory Context: BS 5839 1:2025

• Clause 6.5 emphasizes that weekly tests are non negotiable and any deviations must be logged and justified.
• Section 7 highlights that even small changes, like missed tests, must be recorded in the fire log .
• Section 6 mandates weekly testing of manual call points (MCPs) on a rotating basis to verify alarm functions and correct panel indication.

✅ Pyrocel’s Offering

• Pyrocel provides a weekly testing service: their qualified Consumer Duties Operatives (CDOs) visit your site at a consistent weekly slot to test call points, activate the system, and verify correct operation.
• Our team log each test—including site, call point, time, operator—directly into your fire logbook, ensuring accurate and compliant documentation.
• As a BAFE SP203 1 and UKAS-accredited provider, we guarantee that procedures adhere precisely to BS 5839 1:2025.
• With 24/7, 365-day availability and a 4-hour guaranteed response to faults or issues, Pyrocel ensures systems are fixed quickly—minimising downtime between weekly tests.
• Should deviations occur—e.g., missed weeks due to access issues—Pyrocel records and justifies them per Clause 6's requirements.

💡 2. Monthly Emergency Lighting Checks (BS 5266 1:2016)

📌 Regulatory Context: BS 5266 1:2016

• BS 5266 1 requires a monthly short functional test: simulate mains failure briefly on-site and verify each luminaire illuminates.
• The system log must record date, lights checked, any faults, and actions taken.
• The standard also requires an annual full duration test to validate battery performance over the required time (commonly 3 hours).

✅ Pyrocel’s Offering

• Pyrocel bundles monthly emergency lighting testing into routine visits: Our CDOs test emergency luminaires under simulated mains failure, recording results and addressing any issues.
• All recorded results are entered in an emergency lighting logbook, providing documented evidence of compliance.
• If issues are found—like a lamp failing to illuminate — Pyrocel arranges immediate repair or replacement to restore compliance following suitable authorisation.
• By combining fire alarm and lighting checks, Pyrocel reduces attendance costs and administrative burden while ensuring timely monthly maintenance.

🧯 3. Fire Drills & Evacuations

📌 Regulatory Context: RRO & Industry Best Practice
• Fire drills are mandated under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and recommended to occur at least annually—more often (e.g., every 6 months) in higher-risk environments.
• Drills validate evacuation procedures, response times, alarm audibility/visibility, the clarity of escape routes, and occupants’ knowledge.
• Post-drill debriefing and corrective actions are essential to rectify issues like bottlenecks or unclear signage.

✅ Pyrocel’s Offering
• Pyrocel services extend to organising and managing fire drills, tailored to your site’s risk profile.
• We coordinate drills, ensure all occupants participate, and observe key performance indicators: evacuation time, alarm reactions, and usage of escape paths.
• After drills, Pyrocel provides a detailed post-drill report covering strengths, incidents, and recommended improvements such as enhancing alarm audibility, adjusting evacuation procedures, or updating signage.
• We can also supply or advise on fire risk assessments, staff training, and advice for fire wardens.
