Fire Extinguisher Servicing FAQs
How often should fire extinguishers be serviced?

Fire Extinguishers, similarly to boilers, should be serviced every 12 months. This service should be carried out in accordance with the BS 5036-3 standard and by a third party and accredited fire extinguisher technician. If that wasn’t clear enough: hire us. We’ll sort it.

Are fire extinguisher services a legal requirement?

Yep. By law, all fire extinguishers must be serviced to BS 5036-3 standards. Having this carried out by a trained professional is advisable so that all servicing is carried out with a thorough, safe approach. Failure to do so could result in hefty fines and even a prison sentence.

What happens during a fire extinguisher service?

During a service, our certified technicians will perform a detailed inspection and testing of the extinguisher. This includes checking the pressure, ensuring the extinguisher is fully charged, inspecting the hose and nozzle for blockages, and checking the overall condition of the unit.

What happens if my fire extinguisher fails a service?

If your extinguisher fails a service, it may need to be recharged or repaired. In some cases, if the extinguisher is too old or damaged, it might need to be replaced. Our technicians will discuss the options with you and provide the most cost effective and safe solution.

Are your technicians certified?

Yes, all of our technicians are fully certified and trained according to industry standards. We ensure they remain up-to-date with the latest fire safety regulations and equipment technology.

How long does a fire extinguisher service take?

The length of a service depends on the number of fire extinguishers and their conditions. Typically, a single extinguisher service can be completed in less than 30 minutes.
