Professional Fire Extinguisher Servicing in South London
Fire extinguisher servicing involves a detailed inspection and functional check of every portable fire extinguisher on your premises. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the “responsible person” typically the business owner, manager, or landlord must ensure all fire-fighting equipment is properly maintained and in working order.
Our servicing follows BS 5306-3, the British Standard for the maintenance of portable fire extinguishers. Each visit includes a complete examination of every unit, checking for signs of damage, corrosion, pressure loss, or tampering. We verify that extinguishers are positioned correctly, easily accessible, and clearly signed. Any faults are identified immediately, and we provide clear recommendations for repair or replacement where necessary.
At the end of each service, you receive a detailed service record and compliance certificate, giving you documentary proof that your fire safety obligations have been met. This is vital for insurance purposes, fire risk assessments, and demonstrating due diligence to fire officers or inspectors.
What's Included in Our Fire Extinguisher Servicing
Every fire extinguisher service we carry out includes:
- Visual inspection of the extinguisher body, hose, nozzle, and safety pin
- Pressure gauge checks to ensure correct operating pressure
- Weight verification for CO₂ and stored pressure extinguishers
- Discharge testing where required (typically every five years for extended service)
- Tamper seal replacement and application of a new service label showing the inspection date
- Cleaning and repositioning of units to meet accessibility standards
- Service documentation including a compliance certificate and detailed report
- Recommendations for replacements, upgrades, or additional coverage where gaps are identified
All work is carried out by trained, competent technicians who understand the specific requirements of different extinguisher types and the environments they’re used in.
Why Fire Extinguisher Servicing Is a Legal Requirement
Fire extinguisher servicing in London is mandated by law in the UK. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that all fire safety equipment, including extinguishers, is maintained in efficient working order and kept available for use at all times.
Failure to service your fire extinguishers can result in serious consequences. From a safety perspective, an unmaintained extinguisher may fail when needed most, putting lives at risk and allowing fires to spread unchecked. Legally, non-compliance can lead to enforcement notices, prosecution, and fines of up to £5,000 or more in serious cases. Business owners can also face personal liability and potential imprisonment if negligence leads to injury or death.
Insurance policies often require evidence of regular fire safety maintenance. Without valid service records, claims related to fire damage may be rejected, leaving you facing substantial financial losses.
Annual servicing ensures your extinguishers will function correctly in an emergency, keeps you on the right side of the law, and demonstrates to employees, customers, and insurers that you take fire safety seriously.
