Ensuring that your fire extinguishers are regularly serviced and fully operational is a legal and moral responsibility for any business owner or responsible person. At Expert Fire Solutions, we offer fully compliant fire extinguisher servicing in line with BS 5306-3, helping businesses across the UK stay protected, meet legal requirements, and ensure their fire safety equipment is always ready for action.
We carry out both basic service and extended service procedures for all common types of portable fire extinguishers, including CO2, foam, powder, water, and wet chemical units. Our certified extinguisher technicians perform full functionality checks, pressure gauge readings, seal inspections, and safety pin replacements where needed. We also provide a full service record with every visit, updating your fire log book and attaching a new maintenance label to confirm compliance.
Whether you’re a small business or manage multiple non-domestic premises, our team ensures you’re receiving professional, affordable, and fully documented extinguisher servicing. We don’t believe in hidden charges, and all our services are delivered by a competent person trained to British Standard levels.
Routine fire extinguisher maintenance is an essential part of staying compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and ensuring your firefighting equipment performs correctly in the event of a fire. Fire extinguishers must not only be visually inspected monthly but also undergo annual servicing and, when required, specialist hydraulic testing and discharge testing.
Our comprehensive maintenance service includes all necessary service parts, checks on the tamper seal, the pressure gauge (to confirm the unit is within the correct pressure range), and anti tamper seals. Any units that fail inspection or testing are either serviced immediately or we’ll recommend corrective action, such as replacement with factory tested, new extinguishers. For CO2 extinguishers, we also conduct gauge tests and check that valves and o-rings are in good condition.
Maintenance doesn’t end after one visit. As part of your business’s fire safety strategy, it’s important that extinguishers are regularly inspected, correctly located, and have clear operating instructions. We can work with your team to ensure extinguishers are installed in the designated place, easy to access, and positioned near fire exits, kitchens, or other high-risk zones. For a complete approach to compliance, explore our fire alarm installation, servicing and emergency lighting maintenance services too.
Effective fire extinguisher inspections are the cornerstone of safe and compliant premises. According to standard BS 5306, the person responsible must ensure monthly visual inspections are carried out to identify any signs of tampering, corrosion, or discharge. Our team supports you in setting up and documenting these regular checks, ensuring no detail is missed.
As part of your monthly visual checks, our experts can train designated staff to visually inspect each unit, verify the tamper seal and safety pins, check the legibility of operating instructions, and confirm the pressure gauge is within the safe zone. These visual inspections don’t replace annual servicing by a certified technician, but they are an important preventative measure.
During our scheduled fire extinguisher inspection visits, we verify that all extinguishers are adequately maintained, appropriately signed, and clearly visible. We also check that no obstructions or environmental conditions may compromise their operation. Our inspections are fully documented and integrated with your broader fire safety responsibilities, giving you peace of mind and helping you stay compliant year-round.
If your site requires new extinguishers or you’re setting up fire protection in a new building, our expert engineers can handle full fire extinguisher installation from start to finish. We supply and install a complete range of fire safety equipment, tailored to your risk level and fire classification. Each unit is positioned according to UK standards to ensure maximum accessibility and compliance.
Our team of certified extinguisher technicians installs portable fire extinguishers in locations determined through a professional assessment. We ensure units are placed in designated places, mounted at correct heights, and supported with the appropriate signage. Every unit we install is factory tested, fitted with anti-tamper devices, and comes with a full compliance certificate.
After installation, we provide full training for your staff on how to operate the extinguishers safely and how to include them in your monthly visual and annual inspection schedule. This includes integrating each unit into your fire log book. Whether part of a new build or an upgrade to an existing system, our extinguisher servicing and installation service will ensure your property is fully protected and legally compliant. For complete site safety, we also recommend our fire risk assessment service.
