Fire Extinguisher Servicing Birmingham

Protecting your business, employees and customers from fire involves strict fire-safety measures. One often overlooked part of this is fire extinguisher servicing.

At Hawkesworth, we specialise in a comprehensive range of safety services, including fire extinguisher servicing Birmingham. We help you stay safe, compliant and ready for anything.

Why Fire Extinguisher Servicing is Important

Regular fire extinguisher servicing is essential for a few reasons:

1. 1. Reliability: Fire extinguishers must be regularly inspected and serviced to guarantee they will work in an emergency. A damaged or faulty extinguisher could be at risk of failing, when you most need it.
   2. Legal compliance: UK law requires businesses to properly maintain all fire equipment, including fire extinguishers. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that fire extinguishers should be serviced at least annually, by a qualified professional.

• Early identification: Routine inspections help spot any issues early on, before they become more serious. These issues could be damage to the casing, pressure loss or outdated materials.

1. Peace of mind: Regular maintenance gives you confidence that your fire extinguishers are in full working order.

What Happens in Fire Extinguisher Servicing Birmingham?

Fire extinguisher servicing involves several key steps to ensure all equipment is fully functional and compliant:

Visual Checks

A fire extinguisher service starts with visual inspections to check the fire extinguisher’s condition. Our team will look for any signs of wear, tear and damage such as leaks, rust or broken seals.

Pressure Testing

Most fire extinguishers come with a pressure gauge, this should be regularly checked to ensure the fire extinguisher is within the manufacturer’s recommended range. If it’s too low, it might need to be recharged/replaced, to ensure it works when needed.

Final Checks

Lastly, our team will conduct a functionality test to confirm the fire extinguisher will discharge in an emergency. Sometimes, this might involve a test discharge to make sure everything is working correctly.
