Charnwood (055) Garendon (056) - Quarterly Fire Alarm Maintenance 4/4 - 28/9/26-2/10/26.

Posted: 16 September 2026

Description of the Works

This is the fourth fire alarm visit for the testing year (October 2025 – September 2026) set out by the University's schedule, and requires a visit of silent testing.

This is where a selection of input devices around the building(s) will be activated silently. This will not activate any outputs on the system. BTS will regularly monitor the system for any real fires and raise the alarm if necessary.

An eighth of the system will be isolated at a time whilst BTS work their way around the building. 

Once this notice has been sent, access will be assumed to have been granted to BTS for the dates/times mentioned below UNLESS we are contacted prior to the date/time in question with at least three days' notice.
