Annual Fire Extinguisher Service

Basic

Generally, the service includes:

• Checking all fire extinguisher parts such as: valves, safety devices, gauges, and operating mechanisms.
• Checking internally and externally for corrosion
• Checking the weight is within the stated range
• Compiling a maintenance report or Certificate of Inspection
• Checking that the extinguishers are installed correctly, and that the mounting brackets are safe and secure

Extended

Extended services generally involve carrying out a test discharge on the fire extinguisher, checking internal and external parts, then recharging the fire extinguisher for ready for use, if deemed safe by the engineer.
Co2 fire extinguishers must have a pressure test / Overhaul test every 10 years. We carry out a `service exchange` for co2 fire extinguishers due this test. That is, we exchange your old co2 fire extinguisher for a new or refurbished, tested co2 fire extinguisher.
This is more cost effective as it saves time spent on your premises, prevents a return visit from being necessary and ensures that co2 fire extinguishers are tested and recharged by specialists in certified testing stations.
