🔥 Fire Alarm Commissioning
Basildon • London • Southend
Commissioning is the final and most important step before a fire alarm system goes live.
At PM Controls LTD, we ensure your system is fully tested, compliant, and ready to protect your property.
✔ What Is Commissioning?
It’s verifies that the entire fire alarm system has been:
Installed correctly
Tested thoroughly
Configured to BS 5839
Ready for real-world operation
It confirms the system will detect, alert, and respond as intended.
✔ Our Process
System Inspection & Testing
We check every device: detectors, call points, sounders, interfaces, panels, power supplies — ensuring correct operation across the entire system.

BS 5839 – Fire alarms
