Line of defence when a fire starts — it has to work first time

A day on the job

What a visit actually looks like

No mystery, no upselling. Open each step to see the routine we run at every premises.

We find every extinguisher on the premises — including the ones hidden behind stock or painted over — spot the gaps where one should be, and check each is the right type for the risk in that area.

Pressure gauge, safety pin, tamper seal, hose and horn, corrosion, damage, weight check. Anything that would stop it working under pressure gets flagged on the spot.

Every unit gets its full annual I.S. 291 service — pressure, weight, hose, pin, seals and headcap — with worn parts repaired or replaced there and then. Anything due its five-year discharge test and refill gets that too. Most visits need no second call-out.

An extinguisher that can't be brought back to standard is condemned and swapped for a new certified unit — mounted, signed and ready to grab.

Every unit gets a dated service label, and you get the service report insurers and fire officers ask for. We log the due dates and remind you when the next service is coming up.

The first moments decide everything — and that's exactly when a neglected extinguisher lets you down.

Why servicing matters
Common questions

Quick answers

Most small premises are done inside an hour. Larger sites with dozens of units take longer — we'll give you a realistic estimate when we confirm the booking.

Someone needs to let us in and walk us round once. After that we work independently and hand over the report at the end.

It depends on how many extinguishers you have and what types. Send a booking request with a rough count and we'll confirm the service price before we arrive. If anything needs a repair or replacement on the day, we tell you the cost before we do it.

Yes. We carry new certified extinguishers, brackets and signage, so anything that fails can be swapped during the same visit.

Every serviced unit gets a dated label, and you receive the service report insurers and fire officers typically ask for. We keep a copy and remind you when the next one is due.

Due a service? Overdue one?

Pick a day that suits and we'll confirm it — no payment, no commitment.
