Fire Extinguisher Servicing Manchester

Protecting your business from fire is not only a legal obligation but a major responsibility. Whilst fire alarm testing is a big part of this, fire extinguisher servicing is an equally important, but often overlooked, task.

At Hawkesworth, we specialise in a comprehensive range of safety services, including fire extinguisher servicing Manchester. 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. Reliability: A damaged or faulty extinguisher could be at risk of failing, when you most need it. This could lead to the faster spread of fire, or major safety risks for your staff. Regular fire extinguisher servicing is one of the best ways to ensure the kit will work, when you need it to.
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.
3. Early identification: Spotting issues early on is key to fixing them before they become bigger problems.
4. Peace of mind: Regular servicing gives you the confidence that your fire extinguishers are well-maintained, ready to tackle a fire should you need them.

What Happens in Fire Extinguisher Servicing Manchester?

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

Visual Checks

First, our team will look for any signs of wear, tear and damage such as leaks, rust or broken seals. They’ll also check that the fire extinguishers are in the right place and clearly labelled.

Pressure Testing

Fire extinguishers are pressured and as such, they need to be kept within a recommended range. Our engineers will check if all extinguishers are in this safe zone. If any are too low, they might recharge or replace them.

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.
