Why Fire Extinguishers Matter in the Workplace

Fire extinguishers are a critical first line of defence in the event of a fire. In the early stages of a fire, a correctly maintained and easily accessible extinguisher can prevent a small incident from becoming a life-threatening emergency.

Having the right type of extinguisher in the right place can:

  • Protect your staff, visitors, and property

  • Minimise business interruption and damage

  • Reduce the risk of injury or prosecution

UK Legal Requirements

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all Chipping Norton businesses must:

  • Provide appropriate fire-fighting equipment, such as portable fire extinguishers

  • Ensure that extinguishers are properly installed, maintained, and accessible

  • Arrange for annual servicing by a competent person

  • Keep up-to-date records of maintenance and inspections

Failure to comply can result in enforcement action, fines, or even prosecution.

That’s why it’s vital to ensure your fire extinguishers are regularly serviced to the correct standards.

How Often Should Fire Extinguishers Be Serviced?

To meet UK fire safety regulations and ensure your extinguishers will work in an emergency:

  • Visual inspection: Monthly (can be carried out by a responsible person on site)

  • Basic service: Every 12 months by a qualified technician

  • Extended service: Every 5 years for water, foam, and powder extinguishers

  • CO₂ extinguishers: Pressure tested every 10 years

We service to the current British Standard BS 5306-3:2017, which outlines the correct procedures for portable fire extinguisher maintenance.

You don’t need to worry about the complexities of servicing and compliance — we’ll guide you through exactly what’s needed and when. Whether it’s a routine check, an extended service, or knowing when a replacement is required, our experienced team will give you the right advice at the right time, so you can stay protected and compliant with confidence.

What Does a Proper Service Include?

Our qualified engineers will carry out a full and documented inspection that includes:

  • A visual check of the extinguisher’s condition and suitability

  • Checking weight, pressure and operating mechanisms

  • Ensuring extinguishers are correctly mounted and signed

  • Replacing pins, seals, and O-rings where necessary

  • Refilling or replacing units that do not meet safety standards
