Fire Safety Servicing

Regularly servicing your fire safety equipment is one of the most important things you need to be doing in your duty to reduce the risk of fire in the workplace and buildings open to the public. These include fire extinguishers, fire alarm systems, and emergency lighting as it ensures they’re up to modern standards and are in good working order.

Why Do They Need Servicing?

When your fire safety equipment is working, it isn’t capable of potentially saving lives and reducing damage to property. It’s a recommendation by manufactures and the fire service, while not having servicing carried out can void your insurance.

The relevant British Standards suggest that the servicing of fire extinguishers is required annually, while fire alarms and lighting are recommended for servicing every six months. But most importantly, failure to have fire equipment serviced can mean you’re not complying with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales. With very similar legislation in Scotland and Northern Ireland, such breaches commonly lead to large fines and even imprisonment.

Once servicing is complete, you not only have peace of mind that you’re fully compliant, but also that you’re doing everything practically possible to prevent and prepare for a large fire or another emergency.

Our experienced service engineers can carry out fire extinguisher, fire alarm, and emergency light servicing all in one visit. This helps to minimise disruption for you and means you only have to deal with one friendly and affordable company.
