Plus optional hourly remote CCTV health checks between visits.
Why it matters
Fire, intruder, CCTV and access control systems require regular maintenance to remain compliant with BS and insurance standards. Without it, insurers can void cover, fire risk assessments will identify gaps, and systems silently degrade until they fail at the worst possible moment.
SPS Technical structures maintenance as a primary service — not an add-on. Every system we install, commission or take over moves into a planned maintenance programme with documented visits, compliance certificates and remedial reporting. From our Hull head office and regional coverage, we deliver maintenance programmes across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the Humber, including Doncaster, Leeds, Wakefield and Barnsley.
Property managers, FM companies and multi-site businesses benefit from a single maintenance contract covering fire, CCTV, intruder and access control across all premises — with unified reporting and one account manager.
Evidence-led maintenance
The work does not stop when the engineer leaves. Inspection, test results, remedials and service evidence form a traceable maintenance history.
Engineer checks devices, operation and system condition.
Results are recorded against the maintained system and service scope.
Faults and recommendations are identified, prioritised and tracked.
Visit records and compliance evidence are issued and retained digitally.
A clear service history supports audits, insurers and ongoing planning.
