Overview
Every fire extinguisher in your workplace must be visually inspected monthly by the Responsible Person and serviced annually by a competent third-party technician under BS 5306-3. Our engineers, trained and working to BS 5306-3, carry out the annual basic service for water, foam, CO2, powder and wet chemical extinguishers, plus the extended service (every 5 years for water/foam/powder) and overhaul (every 10 years for CO2) required by the standard.
We supply Kitemarked Britannia, Commander and Gloria extinguishers, selecting the correct media for each risk under BS 5306-8 — Class A (carbonaceous), B (flammable liquids), C (gas), D (metals), F (cooking oils), and electrical equipment. We also fit signage to BS EN ISO 7010 and provide tamper seals, ID labels and traceable service records.
After each visit we issue a service certificate, a discrepancy report listing any extinguishers requiring replacement or overhaul, and update your fire safety log book. Repairs and replacements are quoted on the day.
We cover commercial premises, retail, restaurants, HMOs, schools, factories and offices across Newcastle and the North East with a 7-day booking window.
