Our certified extinguisher technicians carry out both basic service and extended service procedures in line with BS 5306, inspecting and maintaining all types of portable fire extinguisher, including CO2, powder, foam, water additive, and wet chemical units. Each visit includes a full pressure gauge check, assessment of the anti tamper seals, review of safety pins, and replacement of worn service parts. We apply a new maintenance label and update your fire log book to ensure a complete and auditable service record.
Every extinguisher servicing appointment is carried out by a competent person, ensuring that your fire safety provisions are met with precision, professionalism, and no hidden charges.
Regular fire extinguisher servicing is essential for maintaining compliance and protecting your premises. Our Durham-based team offers full annual service plans that keep your firefighting equipment in working order and in line with British Standard expectations.
During each visit, we check the correct pressure range, clean and inspect each valve and o ring, and verify that all extinguishers are correctly located in their designated place. We also conduct gauge tests to ensure the pressure gauge reflects accurate readings and provide specialist hydraulic testing and discharge tested procedures for older or high-risk units.
When required, we recommend corrective action, including replacing damaged units with factory tested new extinguishers. Our team ensures each unit displays clear operating instructions and that staff know how to carry out visual inspections between services. When combined with a professional fire risk assessment and fire alarm servicing, this delivers a comprehensive fire safety solution for your site.
Routine visual inspections are a core part of responsible fire equipment management. In Durham, we help the responsible person or person responsible for fire safety develop and carry out consistent inspection procedures to meet their obligations under BS 5306 and the regulatory reform.
We train designated personnel to visually inspect each extinguisher, ensuring it’s free of damage, has intact anti tamper seals, and is in the correct location. These monthly checks help identify early signs of wear and reduce the risk of equipment failure. We also assist in logging these inspections in your fire log book and preparing for your annual service.
For clients who prefer a hands-off approach, we offer scheduled site visits to perform all inspections on your behalf, verifying that your fire safety equipment remains compliant, well maintained, and ready to use.
If your Durham site needs new or replacement fire extinguishers, our expert technicians can install them safely and efficiently. We supply a full range of portable fire extinguishers, matched to your fire safety provisions and building layout. All units are factory tested, delivered with a valid service label, and positioned to meet the correct location and signage guidelines under British Standard codes.
Our installation process ensures each unit is mounted securely, accessible in an emergency, and placed in its designated place according to your risk profile. We also offer on-site training for your team on how to complete monthly visual inspections, read the pressure gauge, and understand the type of extinguisher required in different zones of your premises.
Once installed, we recommend enrolling in our annual fire extinguisher servicing plan, ensuring ongoing maintenance support and full compliance with current legislation.
Fire extinguisher servicing should be carried out annually by a certified technician, with additional monthly visual inspections by a responsible person to ensure everything is in working order.
A basic service includes external checks, pressure gauge testing, and seal replacements. An extended service involves more detailed procedures such as discharge testing and pressure testing, required every 5 years depending on the type of extinguisher.
The responsible person (typically the employer or business owner) must ensure that fire extinguishers are regularly inspected, adequately maintained, and compliant with BS 5306-3.
