Yes! MAC provides joined-up Fire Protection through FIA Level 3 trained engineers who understand
Fire Alarms, Emergency Lighting and
Extinguishers properly and consistently. One provider, consistent standards and one accountable team across all your sites
Our engineers co-ordinate Fire Alarm testing with your Security Systems, schedule Emergency Lighting maintenance - maintained, non-maintained and escape route lighting - around your operations and handle Extinguisher servicing without multiple provider visits. This eliminates admin chaos from separate maintenance contracts, different response times, and conflicting schedules.
We're qualified across all Fire Protection… BAFE certified for Fire Alarms, FIA full members, NSI Gold certified. Our engineers design solutions meeting BS 5839, BS 5266, and BS 5306 standards.
For multi-site operations, MAC Network delivers consistent quality everywhere - engineers working to the same standards and aligned pricing from Stourbridge to Scotland. One expert team handles everything properly, consistently, without fuss.
Fire Protection work is generally expected to follow the relevant British Standards - BS 5839 for Fire Alarms, BS 5266 for Emergency Lighting and BS 5306 for Fire Extinguishers. These standards set out how systems should be designed, installed, maintained and documented so they stand up to scrutiny during audits, inspections or insurance reviews
You should always check two things when choosing a provider: the competence of the company and the training of the engineers working on your systems. Every MAC engineer completes FIA fundamentals across all core Fire Protection disciplines - Fire Alarms, Emergency Lighting and Extinguishers - and keeps that knowledge current through ongoing FIA professional development.
MAC also holds BAFE SP203-1 certification for Fire Alarm Systems - a UKAS-recognised third-party certification scheme that demonstrates competence in Fire Alarm design, installation, commissioning and maintenance in line with BS 5839-1.
We are also NSI Fire Gold certified, meaning our Fire Alarm work and quality management system are independently audited for technical competence and ISO 9001 compliance.
Many organisations who switch to us say they weren’t confident the engineers attending their sites were fully trained - which is why verified competence matters. With MAC, the qualifications are clear, the standards are documented and the work is audited properly.
Insurers often look for evidence that Fire Protection systems are maintained to the relevant British Standards - BS 5839 for Fire Alarms, BS 5266 for Emergency Lighting and BS 5306 for Extinguishers. They may refuse fire damage claims if systems aren’t maintained to these standards, which is why proper documentation and regular servicing are so important. MAC provides full compliance records and independently certified Fire Alarm competence so insurers have the evidence they typically request during audits or after incidents.
MAC issues comprehensive compliance documentation with every maintenance visit, showing how systems have been serviced in line with the relevant BS standards. This creates clear, audit-ready records that stand up to scrutiny during reviews.
We hold BAFE SP203-1 certification for Fire Alarm Systems - a UKAS-recognised third-party certification scheme that confirms our competence in Fire Alarm design, installation, commissioning and maintenance in line with BS 5839-1. Our FIA Level 3 engineers understand the types of evidence insurers usually check during audits: design records, maintenance logs, fault response documentation and adherence to current standards.
When taking over existing systems, we begin with a detailed inspection to identify any compliance gaps. We bring everything up to standard and then maintain systems consistently, producing clear documentation so you always know your Fire Protection is maintained correctly. You get properly audited compliance records - not paperwork that collapses the moment someone looks closely.
