For many of us, the memory of hearing the school fire alarm still sticks. That sudden, piercing sound, the rush to line up in the yard and that mix of excitement and nerves—was this just a drill, or was something really wrong? Thankfully, for generations of students and staff, those alarms have done their job: keeping people safe by ensuring everyone knows what to do in an emergency.

At Twenty4 Fire & Security, we know just how vital those moments of preparation are, which is why we’ve been working hard over the summer to get schools across South Wales ready to welcome students and staff back this September. Our team has been carrying out comprehensive fire alarm maintenance and servicing, ensuring every education environment we look after is fully compliant, reliable and ready to protect when it matters most.

Why regular fire alarm servicing is essential

Fire alarms are the first line of defence in any school. They not only alert everyone to danger but also provide peace of mind to parents, staff and pupils alike. However, just like any piece of life-saving equipment, they need regular checks and maintenance to ensure they work without fail. A neglected system can result in faults, delayed responses, or even a complete failure in the event of a fire—something no school can afford to risk.

Routine servicing means:

  • Full compliance with fire safety legislation.

  • Early detection of issues before they become dangerous or costly.

  • Confidence for staff and students, knowing they are protected.

Why schools choose Twenty4

We’re proud to be South Wales’ number one choice for fire alarm installation and maintenance. Our engineers bring a wealth of experience to every job, combining technical expertise with a passion for keeping people safe. We also understand the unique challenges schools face, which is why we work hard to ensure minimal disruption during term time—carrying out maintenance efficiently and respectfully, so staff can focus on teaching and students on learning.

Over the summer, our engineers have been everywhere from primary schools to secondary campuses, making sure systems are fully tested and ready. That way, when the first drill of the year takes place, schools can be confident it’s just practice—not a moment of worry.

Safety first, always

For us at Twenty4, fire safety is more than a service—it’s a responsibility. Every test, every inspection, and every system sign-off is another layer of protection for the people who matter most: the students and staff who bring life to our schools every day.
