Fire extinguisher servicing in Earley forms part of the legal responsibilities placed on the responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Firefighting equipment must be maintained so it remains effective, accessible and suitable for the risks present within the premises at all times.
Our engineers carry out routine and extended servicing in accordance with BS 5306, ensuring fire extinguishers continue to match the way each property is used in practice. Servicing includes checks on pressure, condition, operation, signage, mounting height, positioning and accessibility, with clear and accurate service documentation issued to support inspections, audits and ongoing compliance.
Enquire NowEarley includes a diverse mix of property types, from local retail units and professional offices to education settings, healthcare premises, leisure facilities and residential developments with shared internal spaces. Differences in layout, occupancy levels and daily use mean fire extinguisher provision and maintenance must be tailored to each site, rather than treated as a one-size-fits-all service.
Where adjustments are needed, such as relocating, upgrading or replacing extinguishers, recommendations are explained clearly and proportionately. Pricing is transparent, with no hidden charges or unnecessary work.
If extinguishers are found to be damaged, low on pressure or no longer suitable for the identified risks, we provide reliable refilling and replacement options to maintain effective and compliant fire protection.
From businesses along Wokingham Road and Lower Earley Way to schools, community facilities and residential buildings close to Maiden Erlegh Lake and Laurel Park, we understand the practical fire safety considerations affecting Earley properties.
All fire extinguisher servicing is delivered under the BAFE SP101 third-party certification scheme. This independent accreditation confirms that our engineers, training, procedures and quality management systems meet recognised industry standards, helping duty holders demonstrate they have appointed a competent person in line with UK fire safety legislation.

If you manage a home or business in Earley with fire extinguishers on site, it’s natural to have questions about servicing intervals, compliance and what happens during a visit. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we’re asked by local clients.
1. Does a fire extinguisher servicing visit cause much disruption?
Servicing is quick, quiet and typically takes only a few minutes per extinguisher. Engineers simply require access to each unit and move efficiently through the site. Where access is restricted, we work with you to minimise disruption and complete works smoothly.
2. Why is it important fire extinguishers are serviced and maintained?
Fire extinguishers are often relied upon in the early stages of a fire to control spread or support safe evacuation. Regular servicing ensures extinguishers will function correctly when needed. Poorly maintained equipment may fail, and servicing is the only way to provide confidence in performance.
3. Is it a legal requirement to service and maintain fire extinguishers?
Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it is a legal requirement for fire safety equipment, including fire extinguishers, to be maintained under a suitable maintenance regime.
4. What is British Standard 5306?
BS 5306 is the British Standard covering the installation and maintenance of fire extinguishers. It is divided into sections that provide guidance on best practice for selection, commissioning and ongoing servicing.
