Emergency callouts attended within four hours
Fire alarm subcontract engineering · M25 & Essex
Your callout, covered in four hours.
V-TEG Engineering provides qualified fire alarm engineering to fire and security companies as subcontract labour: reactive callouts, BS 5839 servicing, remedials and small works across London and Essex. I attend in my own van, carrying tools, spares and calibrated test equipment, so most faults are cleared on the first visit and your paperwork arrives the same day.

What you can send me
Reactive work, servicing and small works, invoiced straight back to you.
Priced by the day, the half day or the visit, either job by job or against a standing rate card. Your paperwork, your certificates and your client relationship all stay with you.
01
Emergency callouts & reactive
Faults, false alarms, unwanted signals and dead panels. I attend fully equipped, isolate the cause, repair it where parts allow and report back the same day.
02
Scheduled servicing to BS 5839
Quarterly, half yearly and annual visits, with device counts, defect lists and service records completed on your own documentation.
03
Small works & remedials
Clearing the defect list: device swaps, sounder additions, cable repairs, zone corrections and wiring brought back into compliance.
04
Installation and second fix
Containment, cabling, device fixing and termination on new build and refurbishment programmes.
05
Commissioning & certification
Full commissioning, zone charts drawn as fitted and completion certificates ready to hand over under your name.
06
Cause & effect testing
Witness testing against the cause and effect matrix, covering interfaces, dampers, lifts, AOVs and plant shutdowns, each one signed off line by line.
07
Panel takeovers & upgrades
Direct replacements, loop migrations and upgrades from conventional to addressable systems, with the minimum time out of service.
08
Aspirating systems
VESDA and equivalent aspirating detection, including pipework checks, airflow faults, filter changes and detector servicing.
09
Smoke ventilation & AOV
Stairwell and corridor systems, covering actuator faults, control panel resets, servicing and interface testing.
10
Fire dampers
Drop testing, resetting and interface verification, recorded against the asset register.
11
Emergency lighting
Monthly function tests, full duration tests over three hours, luminaire and battery replacements and logbook entries.
12
Fire extinguishers
Annual inspection, replacement and signage, kept in step with the alarm service visit to save a second attendance.
Systems & equipment
No handover briefing required.
Send me a site with any of the below and I will be at the panel, not on the phone. Where a system is unfamiliar I say so before the visit rather than after it.
Engineer level programming and loop work on the main addressable platforms, together with conventional panels and detection from the usual device manufacturers.
Fully equipped
I arrive equipped to diagnose, test and repair.
Every callout is attended in my own van, stocked and calibrated for fire alarm work. You do not need to arrange access equipment or hire in test kit. Where a part is not on board, you get the exact make, model and quantity needed before I leave site, photographed, so you can price it or order it without a second survey visit.
Own vehicle
A fully insured works van, taxed for business use and ready to travel across London and Essex at short notice.
Test and measurement kit
Loop and cable testers, multimeters, sound level meter, smoke and heat test equipment, and a laptop for panel programming and diagnostics.
Tools and consumables
A full set of hand and power tools, plus cable, glands, containment and fixings, so a repair rarely waits on a trip to the wholesaler.
Common spares carried
Detectors, bases, sounders, call points and batteries for the systems I see most often, so straightforward faults are cleared on the first visit rather than becoming a return.
Access equipment
Ladders and steps carried as standard, with IPAF and PASMA training for towers and powered platforms where the height demands it.
Site ready
Full PPE, current cards and tickets, and risk assessments and method statements prepared before I set off.
Parts identified, not guessed
Anything I cannot fit on the day comes back to you as a written list of makes, models and quantities with photographs of the labels, ready for you to price.
Coverage
Inside the M25, and the whole of Essex.
Central & Greater London
All boroughs inside the M25. Congestion and ULEZ charges absorbed in the rate.
Essex
Romford and Brentwood through Basildon, Chelmsford, Harlow, Braintree, Southend and Colchester.
Response
Calls are acknowledged immediately and I am on site within four hours of instruction. Nights, weekends and bank holidays are all covered.
Beyond the area
Kent, Hertfordshire, Suffolk and the wider South East considered for planned works and programmes running over several days.
Compliance & competency
Onboarding paperwork ready to go.
Cards, tickets, insurance and risk assessments are all current and can be with your compliance team on the day you ask for them. I am CIS registered and invoice as a limited company.

How the arrangement works
One engineer, direct. Nothing subcontracted twice.
V-TEG Engineering is run by Imran Joseph, its Managing Director and its engineer. Every visit you instruct is attended by the same person you spoke to. There is no agency layer, no unvetted second tier labour and nobody unexpected arriving on site.
Work is instructed by email or phone, attended in your uniform or neutral workwear as you prefer, and reported the same day with photographs, device details and a recommendation. Your client never hears my company name unless you want them to.
Invoiced weekly or monthly against your PO, CIS deducted where it applies.
References
Contactable references from the companies I already work for.
Rather than publish quotes here, I will put you directly in touch with the contract managers who instruct me, so that you can ask about attendance, reporting quality and conduct on site yourself. Ask when you enquire and I will supply names and numbers.
Add me to your supply chain.
Tell me the type of work and the area and I will send my rate card, insurance schedule and certificates back the same day.
