Keep firefighting equipment serviceable
Correct units for each risk
We review suitability so the equipment matches the hazards in its location.
Faults recorded clearly
You receive practical findings when seals, pressure or condition need attention.
Commissioning documented
We record newly installed or replaced units for a more complete site history.
Check every extinguisher is fit for use
An extinguisher can be present but still be unsuitable, damaged or difficult to reach. We inspect each unit's general condition, location and accessibility, then check its pressure, safety seals and labelling. We also consider whether the extinguisher type is suitable for the risks in that area. This gives commercial premises, education settings and HMO landlords a clearer view of the equipment available for an initial response to fire. Our FIA-qualified engineers carry out fire extinguisher servicing in line with BS 5306, with findings recorded so you can follow the condition and maintenance of individual units across the premises.
Manage servicing, faults and replacements
We provide inspection, servicing and commissioning, including pressure checks, fault identification and maintenance. Where required, we can arrange refills or replacements and document the work in a service report. Most units need professional servicing each year. Relevant extinguishers also enter extended servicing every five years, while CO2 units follow a ten-year interval. We review the equipment and its service history to identify the applicable stage rather than treating every unit the same. Accurate records then help you track completed work and prepare for the next service date without relying on old labels alone.
Frequently asked questions
What does an annual extinguisher service cover?
We inspect accessibility, condition, pressure, seals and labelling, and review whether the unit suits the risk present. We identify faults and record the service outcome. Any refill, replacement or further maintenance requirement is explained clearly.
When is extended extinguisher servicing due?
Relevant extinguishers generally require extended servicing at five-year intervals, while CO2 units follow a ten-year cycle. We review the extinguisher type and available service information to determine what stage of maintenance applies.
Should we provide previous service records?
Yes, where they're available. Previous records help us confirm service dates, unit histories and earlier recommendations. If records are incomplete, we can still inspect the accessible equipment and document its current condition for your files.
