FIRE EXTINGUISHER SERVICE

At SJH Safety Solutions, we know that fire safety isn’t just about having extinguishers on the wall—it’s about knowing they’ll work when it matters most. Our Annual Fire Extinguisher Servicing ensures that every unit in your building is fully compliant, properly maintained, and ready to perform in an emergency.

Whether you manage a small office, a busy warehouse, or multiple sites, your fire extinguishers are a critical line of defence—and a legal requirement. But they’re only effective if they’re inspected, serviced, and certified at least once every 12 months by a competent technician.

We take the stress out of fire safety compliance by delivering thorough, BS 5306-3 compliant annual servicing that helps you meet your legal obligations and protect your team, property, and insurance cover. With clear documentation, friendly service, and expert advice, SJH Safety Solutions keeps you covered—year after year.

Why are they Required?

Fire extinguishers are one of the first lines of defence in any fire emergency—but they’re only useful if they’re in good working order. Over time, extinguishers can lose pressure, become damaged, or simply degrade through environmental exposure and general wear and tear. That’s why annual servicing isn’t optional—it’s a legal requirement.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, employers, landlords, and duty holders have a legal obligation to ensure that fire safety equipment is maintained in an efficient state, in working order, and in good repair. This includes having your extinguishers inspected and serviced at least once every 12 months by a competent person, in accordance with BS 5306-3.

Servicing ensures that:

Your extinguishers will function properly in an emergency
Pressure levels are safe and accurate
No signs of corrosion, leakage, or tampering go unnoticed
Expired or discharged units are replaced promptly

But it’s not just about ticking boxes. Proper servicing protects your staff, your premises, and your business continuity. It also supports insurance validity and helps demonstrate that you're meeting your fire safety duties as a responsible employer or property manager.

At SJH Safety Solutions, we don’t just check the gauges—we ensure your equipment is genuinely ready to protect lives, meet the law, and give you complete peace of mind.

How do we do them?

At SJH Safety Solutions, our annual fire extinguisher servicing is carried out by fully qualified technicians who follow the latest BS 5306-3 standards and Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 guidance. We make the process straightforward, professional, and fully compliant—without disrupting your day-to-day operations.

We begin with a full visual inspection of each extinguisher to check for signs of corrosion, leakage, tampering, or damage. Next, we verify that each unit is in the correct location, mounted properly, and appropriate for the fire risks in that area.

Our technicians then:

Check pressure gauge readings and internal pressure (where applicable)
Ensure safety pins and tamper seals are intact
Inspect hoses, nozzles, and discharge mechanisms
Clean and service each extinguisher as needed
Replace any missing or worn components (tags, seals, etc.)
Record all results in a digital log and apply clear, dated service labels

We’ll also advise you if any extinguishers are due for extended servicing (e.g., 5- or 10-year intervals), or if a replacement is recommended due to age or condition.

Once complete, you’ll receive a full service report and compliance certificate for your records—ideal for audits, insurance, and fire risk assessments.

With SJH Safety Solutions, you're not just meeting your fire safety obligations—you're putting professional, preventative protection in place for your people and your premises.
