Fire Extinguisher Servicing made easy

Fire extinguishers must be serviced once every 12 months by a competent person, in line with BS 5306-3 and UK fire safety regulations.

Regular servicing ensures:

• the extinguisher will work in an emergency
• it remains compliant with insurance and legal requirements
• faults are identified before they become failures

Yes — under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the “responsible person” must ensure fire safety equipment is properly maintained.

While the law doesn’t specify “annual servicing” by name, British Standards do, and these are what enforcing authorities, insurers, and fire risk assessors expect to see.

The responsible person — usually the:

• business owner
• landlord
• managing agent
• employer

They don’t need to carry out the servicing themselves, but they must ensure it’s done correctly and on time.

A qualified engineer will:

• check pressure, weight, and condition
• inspect hoses, seals, and safety pins
• confirm correct type and location
• replace tamper seals
• record the service digitally
• issue certification

If anything needs replacing or refilling, we’ll explain it clearly before proceeding.

Most sites take 10–15 minutes per extinguisher.

For typical offices, shops, or rental properties, servicing is quick and causes minimal disruption.

Our standard servicing includes:

• annual service visit
• extinguisher inspection and testing
• certification and service labels
• digital service records
• compliance reminders

Any potential extras (such as refills or replacements) are priced transparently — not added without explanation.

Unlike many providers, we don’t hide these.

Possible additional costs may include:

• refilling a discharged extinguisher
• replacing obsolete or damaged units
• CO₂ testing (where required)

We’ll always tell you what’s needed, why it’s needed, and how much it costs before any work is done.

Yes — extinguishers can fail due to:

• loss of pressure
• corrosion or damage
• age or obsolescence
• incorrect type for the risk

If an extinguisher fails, we’ll clearly explain your options rather than automatically replacing it.

Yes. Even brand-new extinguishers must be:

• installed correctly
• commissioned
• included in annual servicing

The first annual service is due 12 months after installation.

Maintenance-free extinguishers (such as P50s) do not require annual engineer servicing, but they:

• still require regular visual checks by the responsible person
• must be replaced after their service life

They’re a great option for reducing long-term costs and disruption.

Yes. After each service you’ll receive:

• service certification
• updated extinguisher labels
• digital records for audits, insurers, and fire risk assessments

Everything stored in one place — no paper folders needed.

Missing servicing can:

• invalidate insurance
• cause issues during fire inspections
• increase liability if an extinguisher fails

We send reminders so you stay compliant without having to remember dates.

We provide UK-wide coverage through qualified engineers.

If you manage multiple sites, we can service them all under one account with centralised records.

• get instant pricing online
