Our qualified engineers carry out both basic service and extended service checks for all major extinguisher types, including CO2, foam, powder extinguishers, water, and wet chemical units. Each service includes a thorough pressure gauge check, inspection for tamper seal integrity, condition of discharge hose, and a review of mounting, signage, and the extinguisher’s operating instructions. All work is carried out by a competent person and logged with a fresh service label in your fire log book.
Whether you have one or two extinguishers or manage a full suite across multiple premises, we offer flexible plans for servicing fire extinguishers on a regular basis. Our friendly team ensures all units are ready for use in the event of an emergency, with no hidden fees and full adherence to the fire safety order 2005.
Ongoing fire extinguisher maintenance is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and essential for ensuring your firefighting equipment performs as expected in the event of a fire. Our Hartlepool engineers provide full maintenance support, from annual servicing to ad-hoc repairs and corrective action where required.
Each visit includes a review of the pressure gauge reading, checks for obvious damage, and confirmation that the extinguisher is at the correct pressure. We also check seals, valves, o-rings, and unit weights for accuracy. If a unit cannot be re-certified, we’ll advise whether it needs to be re-filled, replaced with new extinguishers, or subjected to pressure testing or test discharge, depending on type and condition.
We also assess whether each portable fire extinguisher is in the correct location, wall-mounted securely, and easily accessible in high-risk zones such as kitchens or plant rooms. For a complete approach to compliance, many clients also opt to combine this with fire alarm servicing or a full fire risk assessment, ensuring all fire safety equipment is managed together.
For businesses in Hartlepool, routine fire extinguisher inspections are critical to fulfilling the responsibilities of the responsible person. In line with British Standards, our team supports monthly inspections and annual inspection schedules to ensure extinguishers are fit for use and meet all relevant fire regulations.
Our engineers can provide training and guidance on how to visually inspect each unit, including how to identify a compromised tamper seal, worn signage, or a unit that has shifted from its correct location. During a monthly visual inspection, a simple checklist covers the pressure, labelling, and the unit’s ability to be accessed and used in an emergency. These do not replace full annual servicing, but they are crucial for spotting early issues.
As part of our formal extinguisher servicing visits, we also inspect for any deterioration caused by environmental conditions and confirm compliance through updated records and documentation. With each inspection, we help ensure your fire safety provisions remain active, visible, and easy for your team to manage confidently.

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.
