Fire extinguisher servicing in Bracknell is a core requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must ensure that any firefighting equipment provided within a premises remains functional, well maintained and appropriate for the risks identified through fire risk assessment.
Our engineers carry out both routine and extended servicing in accordance with BS 5306, focusing on how extinguishers are actually used and accessed within the building. Each service includes checks on pressure, condition, mounting, positioning, visibility, signage and accessibility. Detailed service documentation is supplied following every visit, supporting compliance, audits and ongoing fire safety management.
Enquire NowBracknell is home to a diverse range of premises, from large office campuses and technology hubs to retail centres, schools, healthcare environments and residential developments with shared spaces. Fire risks can vary widely depending on occupancy levels, building layout and daily activity, particularly across mixed-use and high-footfall sites. Effective fire extinguisher servicing here requires a considered, site-specific approach rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Our servicing is delivered under the BAFE SP101 third-party certification scheme which confirms that our engineers, systems, training and quality controls have been independently assessed against recognised industry benchmarks.
From offices and commercial units within Bracknell’s business parks to retail premises in the town centre and community buildings across surrounding neighbourhoods, we understand the practical fire safety considerations affecting local properties and how these environments are used day to day.
Where improvements are required, such as relocating extinguishers, upgrading equipment or replacing unsuitable units, recommendations are explained clearly and proportionately. All pricing is agreed in advance, with no unexpected charges or unnecessary work added later.
Servicing visits are arranged at a time that works for you. Our engineers work efficiently and considerately, keeping noise, interruption and disruption to staff, residents or customers to an absolute minimum throughout the visit.
Our servicing supports responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and BS 5306. Updated service labels and written reports are issued after each visit to support fire risk assessments, internal checks and external inspections.
If extinguishers are found to be damaged, low on pressure or no longer appropriate for the risks present, we provide reliable refilling and replacement services to ensure fire protection remains effective, compliant and ready for use.

Bracknell and the surrounding area cover a diverse mix of premises, from large commercial offices around Arlington Square and Bracknell Business Park to retail units within The Lexicon, local schools, healthcare facilities and leisure venues. The town also includes established residential developments with communal access, alongside older properties near areas such as Easthampstead and modern housing around Jennett’s Park. Many buildings experience fluctuating occupancy, shared escape routes and changes in use throughout the week. Fire extinguisher servicing must reflect these real working conditions, ensuring equipment remains appropriate for the risks present, dependable in an emergency and fully compliant with current fire safety requirements.

If you’re responsible for fire extinguishers within a Bracknell property, it’s natural to have questions about legal duties, servicing requirements and what to expect during a visit. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from local clients.
1. Do you cover locations outside Bracknell?
Yes. Alongside Bracknell, Safe I.S. supports clients throughout Berkshire and provides nationwide fire safety services, all delivered to the same BAFE SP101 accredited standard.
2. What types of fire extinguishers do you service and maintain?
We service all types of portable fire extinguishers from 1kg to 20kg, including CO2, Foam, Water (including Water Mist and Water Additive), Powder (including ABC and Class D) and Wet Chemical. Fire blankets are also serviced.
3. Do I require fire extinguishers in my property?
This is determined by the fire risk assessment and the findings of the fire risk assessor. Requirements vary depending on building layout, use, evacuation strategy, materials present and how occupants use the space. There is no universal rule that applies to all buildings.
4. Do new fire extinguishers require servicing and maintenance?
Yes. All new extinguishers must be commissioned once installed in their intended location. Commissioning cannot be completed prior to installation and must be carried out by a competent person in line with British Standards. Following commissioning, annual servicing is required.
5. Are your quotations fixed price or do you charge for service consumables?
Small consumable parts such as pins, seals, tags and gauge stickers must be replaced during servicing to comply with British Standards. These items are included within our fixed-price quotations, meaning no hidden charges appear after the visit.
6. What is British Standard 5306 (BS5306)?
BS 5306 is the British Standard covering the selection, installation, inspection and maintenance of fire extinguishers. It provides guidance on best practice and legal compliance for servicing activities.
