Fire Extinguisher Sales & Service
Our experienced team are able to supply, service and install a
comprehensive range of fire extinguishers in accordance with
British Standard 5306 Part 3 and Part 8. All our extinguishers
conform to EN 3 and have a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.
Fire extinguisher servicing is essential to ensure the effective
operation of your extinguisher when you need it and a legal
requirement under article 17 of the fire safety order. The British
Standard Code of Practice BS 5306 Part 3 states that fire
extinguisher servicing needs to be carried out at least annually to
ensure that the extinguishers are safe and will always function in
an emergency.
All our extinguishers will provide many years of reliable fire
protection but despite the five year manufacturers' guarantee, an
annual service by a competent engineer is still required. It is
also stated that fire extinguishers should be checked at least
monthly 'in house' to check for any signs of tampering, missing or
used extinguishers, the internal pressure is at an acceptable level
and ensure extinguishers are unobstructed and clearly visible.
A record of these checks should be noted in your fire log
book.
All extinguisher servicing and maintenance includes an approved
certificate of inspection.
We can supply your new fire extinguishers, with an initial
service or a pre-delivery inspection / commission. This is a
completed fire extinguisher servicing label recording the
date, weight, next service date and date of discharge or overhaul
test.
