questions
Frequently asked questions about fire detector replacement
AS 1851 sets a 10-year point for detectors in fire detection systems: each one is replaced or has its sensitivity verified, and the result is recorded. Common-area systems in strata buildings follow the same routine as other fire detection systems. Whether the standard applies to your building depends on its compliance requirements, which your strata manager or fire safety schedule can confirm.
We quote each programme from what we find across your buildings. Detector count and type, ceiling height and access, panel compatibility, number of stages and sites, after-hours work and resident notice arrangements all affect the quote. Request a quote and a team member will reply within the next business day.
Yes. We stage works by floor, building or site and agree the order with you, starting with the detectors at or past 10 years.
We prepare plain-language notices for each stage with your strata manager, so residents know when we need access and for how long.
Works are planned area by area, and every stage gets an access plan before work starts. How the system is managed during the works is agreed with you at the planning stage.
