Our certified extinguisher technicians conduct both basic service and extended service procedures on a wide range of portable fire extinguishers, including CO2, water additive, foam, and powder models. Every unit receives a pressure gauge check, inspection of the anti tamper seals, safety pins, o rings, and discharge hose, plus the application of a new maintenance label for your fire log book. All work is completed by a competent person in line with BS 5306 and BS 5306-3.
With no hidden charges and a clear, professional approach, our Sunderland extinguisher servicing ensures your premises remain protected and legally compliant.
Routine fire extinguisher servicing is a key part of your duty under the regulatory reform legislation. Our Sunderland-based team provides full maintenance support and annual service visits to help businesses keep their firefighting equipment compliant, fully operational, and in good repair.
Each visit includes a full inspection of the unit’s pressure gauge, tamper seals, and housing, as well as verification that each extinguisher remains within the correct pressure range. We also offer gauge tests, valve inspections, and specialist hydraulic testing when required. If any extinguisher is damaged or no longer safe, we recommend corrective action, including replacement with factory tested, new extinguishers that meet the latest relevant standards.
We confirm every extinguisher is correctly located, easy to access, clearly signed, and fitted with visible operating instructions. Whether you manage a small business or a large multi-site organisation, our maintenance plans ensure your safety equipment is always ready for use and aligned with fire safety best practices.
Conducting regular visual inspections is critical to maintaining your fire safety equipment in line with BS 5306 and the requirements of the responsible person. At Expert Fire Solutions, we support businesses in Sunderland by providing monthly inspection training and scheduled visits to verify extinguisher compliance.
We help your team visually inspect each unit, checking for damaged or missing tamper seals, ensuring the pressure gauge is within the safe range, and confirming that the extinguisher is in the correct location.

In addition to monthly checks, we offer full annual service visits to ensure all extinguishers are fully functional, properly labelled, and in accordance with the relevant standards.
