Fire extinguisher servicing in Hungerford is a key part of maintaining effective fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Responsibility sits with the duty holder to ensure that firefighting equipment is not only present, but suitable for the risks on site and capable of operating correctly if called upon. In practice, this means regular inspection, maintenance and accurate record keeping.
Our engineers carry out annual and extended fire extinguisher servicing in line with BS 5306, taking into account how each premises is actually used. Checks include internal and external condition, pressure levels, discharge mechanisms, safety seals, mounting arrangements and visibility. Service labels and written reports are provided after each visit, giving clear evidence of maintenance and supporting fire risk assessments, audits and ongoing compliance.
Enquire NowHungerford serves a broad catchment of businesses and properties, from independent shops and hospitality venues to workshops, storage facilities, schools and residential buildings with shared access. Many sites combine public-facing areas with back-of-house or storage spaces, while others operate across split levels or older layouts. This variety means fire extinguisher servicing must be approached with care, experience and a clear understanding of risk rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
All fire extinguisher servicing is delivered under the BAFE SP101 third-party certification scheme. This accreditation provides independent confirmation that our engineers, training programmes, servicing processes and quality controls meet recognised industry standards, helping duty holders demonstrate compliance and the appointment of a competent person.
From premises along the High Street and Charnham Street to rural sites on the outskirts towards the Kennet and Avon Canal, we understand the practical fire safety challenges faced by Hungerford properties, including mixed-use spaces, limited storage areas and varying occupancy throughout the year.
Any recommendations following a service visit are explained in plain terms and aligned to the actual risks identified. Whether adjustments involve repositioning, upgrading or replacing extinguishers, guidance is practical, proportionate and focused on compliance rather than unnecessary spend.
Where extinguishers are no longer serviceable or suitable, we provide dependable refilling and replacement options to ensure fire protection measures remain effective without delay.
All work supports duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and relevant sections of BS 5306. Service labels and documentation are issued after every visit to support internal checks and external inspection requirements.
We work around your opening hours and site activity wherever possible. Our engineers operate efficiently and respectfully, keeping disruption to staff, customers, residents or visitors to an absolute minimum.

Hungerford and the surrounding area include a mix of historic town centre properties, commercial units, hospitality venues, schools and rural premises serving the wider West Berkshire area. Locations around the High Street, the Town Hall and areas close to the Kennet and Avon Canal often feature older building layouts, varied access routes and fluctuating occupancy. Fire extinguisher servicing must reflect these conditions, ensuring equipment is positioned correctly, remains accessible and continues to match the risks present within each environment.
