Fire Extinguisher Servicing London

When it comes to protecting your business, employees and customers, fire safety is one of the most important considerations. Fire alarm testing is a big part of that, but one thing equally important and often overlooked is fire extinguisher servicing London.

At Hawkesworth, we offer comprehensive fire extinguisher servicing London, helping keep businesses across the capital safe and compliant.

Why Fire Extinguisher Servicing is Important

Regular fire extinguisher servicing is essential for a few reasons:

• Ensures functionality: To ensure they work when you need them to, fire extinguishers need to be regularly checked and serviced. If a fire extinguisher is damaged or faulty, it might fail to function when you need it to.

• Legal compliance: Under UK law, businesses are required to ensure fire extinguishers are maintained properly and kept in good working order. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 details that fire extinguishers should be serviced annually by a qualified technician.

• Peace of mind: Knowing fire extinguishers are regularly maintained is also great for your peace of mind. You’ll have the knowledge that everything is in good working order, should your team need to use it.

What Happens in Fire Extinguisher Servicing London?

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

Visual Checks

The first step is a thorough visual inspection. Our team will check the physical condition of the fire extinguisher, making sure it’s not damaged or showing any signs of wear. This includes checking for rust, leaks and ensuring the seal has not been tampered with.

Pressure Checks

Almost every fire extinguisher has a pressure gauge. During the service, our technician will ensure the actual pressure is within the manufacturer’s recommended range. If the pressure is too low, the extinguisher might need to be recharged or replaced.

Functional Checks

The technician will then complete a functional test to make sure the extinguisher is capable of discharging effectively when it’s needed. This might include checking the nozzle and hose for blockages, or even completing a test discharge.
