Maintenance [Back to intruder alarm systems](/services/intruder-alarms) Intruder Alarm Maintenance # Intruder Alarm Maintenance — SSAIB-Certified, Insurance Compliant Planned maintenance to BS9263, compliance certification after every visit, and 24/7 reactive callout across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the Humber. [Installation](/services/intruder-alarms/installation)[Maintenance](/services/intruder-alarms/maintenance)[PSTN migration](/services/intruder-alarms/pstn-migration)[Monitoring](/services/intruder-alarms/monitoring) Monitored intruder alarm systems must be regularly maintained to satisfy insurance requirements, retain police response and remain compliant with BS9263. SPS Technical provides SSAIB-certified planned maintenance for commercial intruder alarm systems across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the Humber — with compliance certificates issued after every visit and 24/7 reactive callout for faults and failures. ## Why Intruder Alarm Maintenance Is Not Optional Under BS9263, monitored Grade 2 systems require a minimum of one maintenance visit per year. Grade 3 and above require two. Police forces require current maintenance certification as a condition of retaining a police URN — and most commercial insurers require evidence of maintained, SSAIB-certified systems as a condition of policy. A lapsed maintenance certificate can result in loss of police response and insurance disputes following a break-in. Legal requirements Monitored intruder alarm systems require regular maintenance as a condition of insurance and police response. Under BS9263, Grade 2 systems require a minimum of one maintenance visit per year; Grade 3 and above require two. Police forces also require evidence of current maintenance to retain a URN. SPS Technical's SSAIB-certified maintenance satisfies insurer requirements, police conditions and the standards set out in BS9263 — with a compliance certificate issued after every visit. What we check ## What's Included in an Intruder Alarm Maintenance Visit SPS Technical maintenance visits cover every component of your intruder alarm system — from detection devices and panel operation through to ARC signalling path verification and tamper circuit inspection. Every visit is documented and a compliance certificate issued on the same day. Every maintenance visit covers the following as standard — a compliance certificate is issued on completion. Control panel inspection — event log, fault history and battery condition All detection zones tested — detectors walked and triggered Sounder and strobe test — audibility and visibility confirmed Entry and exit timing verification ARC signalling test — both transmission paths verified Tamper circuit inspection External sounder and battery condition check Remote keypad and user code verification Engineer reset and engineer access log reviewed System certificate issued ## We Maintain Systems We Didn't Install SPS Technical carries out SSAIB-certified maintenance on intruder alarm systems regardless of original installer. We audit the system, identify any compliance gaps and issue a certificate from the first visit.
