Fire Extinguisher Maintenance & Servicing in rugby

Fire extinguishers require ongoing maintenance to ensure their reliability. Over time, extinguishers can develop faults, lose pressure, or become damaged. Without proper inspection, these issues may go unnoticed until it's too late.

UK legislation, including The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, makes it a legal responsibility for business owners, responsible persons, and landlords to ensure fire extinguishers are maintained to meet British Standards (BS5306-3). Regular servicing is not only essential for legal compliance but provides peace of mind that your staff, premises, and assets are protected.

How Often Should Fire Extinguishers Be Serviced?

Under British Standards, fire extinguishers must follow a regular maintenance schedule:

· Monthly visual inspections by the responsible person to check accessibility, pressure, damage, and correct signage.

· Full annual servicing by a competent technician (BAFE-certified).

· Extended servicing (pressure testing and discharge tests) every 5 or 10 years depending on extinguisher type.

Failure to follow this schedule can lead to non-compliance, potential fines, and the risk of faulty extinguishers when they’re needed most.

Common Fire Extinguisher Issues We Check

During every service visit, our engineers carefully check for:

· Loss of pressure or incorrect pressure levels

· Signs of corrosion, rust, or leaks

· Blockages in discharge hoses and nozzles

· Missing or broken safety seals and pins

· Correct positioning and appropriate signage

· Clear and legible operating instructions

· Expiry dates and previous service records

Our detailed servicing reports will document any issues, with full recommendations for repair, replacement, or corrective actions where necessary.
