Fire Extinguisher Servicing Bradford

Before tackling the question do extinguishers need servicing you must first decide does your business need extinguishers. UK government guidelines suggest that even a one-room shop should have fire-fighting provision. Also, it makes sense to protect your business with extinguishers so that a fire that starts very small doesn’t wipe your livelihood out.

Ultimately though, whether you have extinguishers plus how many and what type should be the result of a mandatory fie risk assessment. If you have a small and less complex business, you may well carry out your own risk assessment. However, if you are unsure of the correct provision of extinguishers then we are happy to help with a free extinguisher review.

Be careful of purchasing units online as many that seem to be British standard are often cheap Chinese imports. Any listed as pre-commissioned should be avoided. BS5306 states that commissioning must be carried out onsite when an extinguisher is fitted.

Once installed extinguishers must be serviced annually. The requirements can vary with different types e.g. all must have a basic service annually, some need an extended service every five years (not CO2) but CO2 need pressure testing on ten years and all need replacing after 20 years.

This can lead to different charges on certain years and some unscrupulous companies use this to blind customers with ever changing charges an unnecessary replacements. Our extinguisher engineers are salaried and are not commission-based like most. They have no incentive to replace extinguishers unnecessarily.
