Thank you both for your reply's, I guess as it's me who has control of the premises, I am responsible and not the landlord. I will contact a fire risk assessor, and in turn a fire alarm company who can inspect the system and progress from there. Thanks again for the advice.

Hi, I'm wondering if someone can help me. I own a small business and rent a unit which is about 460m square. I have been there about 6 years. There is a fire panel, there is call points at every exit, there is smoke detectors. The system doesn't seem to be connected as its dead. My insurance says I don't need it, yet another units beside me have working systems and the same landlord. Can you advise me what I need to do so I am legal, I don't want to fall foul of any rules. I employ 8 staff and at times have up to 10 members of the public on the premises. many thanks Colin
