Used Smoke Alarm Australia to get alarms tested and replaced. They have certificate but the Council is not accepting.

Can anyone recommend APFS accredited company who knows how to fill council requirement forms.

    Using the FPAS search it seems they don’t have an accredited practitioner so that may be the issue council has with your certificate.
    Maybe do a search via this page?

    Our Strata uses OnCall Fire Safety. They charge us ~$750 for 8 units (24 smoke detectors) plus checking the carpark emergency lighting and exit signs and the fire extinguishers.
    They also certify the extraction system for the car park but I did the report for them (I was more qualified than they were).

    We had to change suppliers a few years back as our guy retired due to rising insurance and compliance costs.
    OnCall were mid-range of the 4 quotes we got. The cheapest quote wanted us to supply a ridiculous amount of documentation.

    NB: OnCall quote exorbitant prices for any repairs needed (eg: a $20 smoke alarm is $60 plus 1 hour labour to fit). We generally decline and get our own sparky in to do the work.

        Everything as far as I know unless the strata manager does something. Given how crap he is, I doubt he does more than submit the paperwork.
