Certified Fire Extinguisher Services
Fire extinguishers are your first line of defence, empowering staff to tackle small fires immediately and effectively before they escalate.
However, an extinguisher is only an asset if it is the correct type, sited correctly, and professionally maintained. FM247 provides a complete, compliant solution for fire extinguisher installation and servicing across your multi-site portfolio.
No monthly contract • Ad hoc support when you need it
Installation and Siting to BS 5306 Standards
Correct placement and selection are essential. Our certified technicians survey your premises to determine the specific fire risks (Class A, B, C, F, or electrical) and recommend the appropriate extinguishers (Water, Foam, CO2, Dry Powder, or Wet Chemical). We then ensure they are installed and commissioned in accordance with BS 5306-8, ensuring they are visible, accessible, and correctly located along escape routes.
Key services include:
Risk-Based Supply: Supplying the right volume and type of extinguisher for your specific business operations.
Commissioning: Performing the initial checks and recording details in the official logbook before the extinguisher is placed into service.
Staff Training: Offering user-friendly fire safety training to empower your employees with the confidence to use the equipment safely and effectively.
Annual Extinguisher Servicing and Maintenance
To guarantee operational readiness, fire extinguishers must be serviced annually under BS 5306-3. Our maintenance team provides reliable, scheduled fire extinguisher servicing, inspecting every unit on-site to check pressure, seals, weight, and operational integrity. We provide a full paper and digital audit trail of all maintenance carried out, including:
Basic Annual Service: A full visual and physical check of the extinguisher's components.
Extended Service: More detailed servicing (e.g., discharge testing or refilling) required every 5-10 years, depending on the extinguisher type.
Life-Cycle Management: Ensuring timely replacement of extinguishers approaching their end-of-life date, ensuring your assets are always current and reliable.
Trust FM247 to manage this critical active fire protection system, providing your staff with the tools and knowledge needed to act decisively in an emergency.
