Stay Compliant. Stay Protected.
A fire alarm system is only as reliable as its last service. C4 Fire & Security provides SANS 10139 compliant maintenance and servicing for all fire detection brands across the Western Cape.
Insurance Compliance
Regular servicing with compliance certificates keeps your insurance valid. Non-compliant systems can lead to rejected claims.
Reduced False Alarms
Dirty detectors and degraded components cause nuisance alarms. Scheduled maintenance keeps false alarm rates low.
24/7 Emergency Callout
When your system faults outside office hours, our emergency response team is available around the clock.
Why Fire Alarm Maintenance Matters
South African insurance law requires fire detection systems to be maintained in working order. Hollard explicitly rejects claims where fire precautionary measures are not maintained at the time of loss. C4 Fire & Security provides scheduled maintenance contracts that keep your system compliant, reliable and insured.
