ABOUT TEST & MAINTENANCE

Established expertise.
A team you can
speak to.

Test & Maintenance Services Ltd was established in 2006, with a focus on practical fire detection and security expertise.

From our base in Heywood, we work with you to understand the building, the equipment and the support it needs.

Whether you are planning a new system or reviewing an existing maintenance arrangement, a conversation with our team is the place to start.

Speak to your local team

BEFORE YOU GET IN TOUCH

A few useful answers.

Can you maintain a system you did not install?

Yes, we can discuss a takeover. Send us the site address, system make and model if known, the latest service records and any outstanding issues. We will agree the scope after reviewing the information and any site requirements.

What should I send for a quotation?

Start with the site location, what you need to achieve, any drawings or specifications and your timescale. Include access restrictions and whether the building will remain occupied during the work.

How do I access my site records?

Use the customer portal login with your invited email address. You can view the information shared with your customer account. Contact our team if you need access or cannot find a document.

Does the portal confirm an emergency visit?

No. A service request is submitted for review, not an instant confirmed booking. For urgent support, use the contact arrangements in your maintenance agreement. If there is an immediate danger, follow your emergency procedures and contact the emergency services.

Can I see the certificates relevant to my project?

Of course. Ask us for the current certification and its applicable scope. You can also check our BAFE and SSAIB listings using the links in our accreditations section.

LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR BUILDING

A new project?
A system that needs attention?

Tell us where you are, what you have and what needs to happen next.

Email links open your email app; they do not send a request automatically. For urgent or out-of-hours support, use the arrangements in your maintenance agreement.
