In Lambourn, fire extinguisher servicing is about more than ticking a compliance box. Properties across the village range from historic buildings and traditional pubs to training yards, offices and mixed-use premises connected to the racing industry. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must ensure that fire extinguishers remain appropriate for these environments and capable of being used safely and effectively if an incident occurs.
Our approach to servicing focuses on how each Lambourn premises operates in real terms, not just what’s on paper. Engineers carry out annual and extended servicing in accordance with BS 5306, assessing suitability alongside condition. This includes detailed checks of operating pressure, mechanical integrity, seals, signage, wall fixings and accessibility, particularly in buildings with older layouts or shared access routes. Accurate service labels and written records are issued following each visit, providing clear evidence of maintenance for fire risk assessments, inspections and ongoing compliance.
Enquire NowLambourn supports a distinctive mix of premises shaped by its rural setting and strong links to the racing industry. Alongside village shops, cafés and traditional pubs, there are training yards, offices, workshops, storage buildings and residential properties with shared access. Many sites include outbuildings, converted structures or older layouts that have evolved over time. This variety means fire extinguisher servicing needs to be based on practical risk and building use, rather than a standardised checklist approach.
Any recommendations identified during servicing are clearly explained and directly linked to the risks present on site. Whether guidance involves repositioning extinguishers, upgrading units or replacing unsuitable equipment, advice is proportionate, practical and focused on compliance rather than unnecessary expenditure.
Where extinguishers are found to be damaged, discharged or no longer appropriate for the environment, we provide reliable refilling and replacement solutions to maintain effective fire protection without delay.
All work supports responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the relevant sections of BS 5306. Updated service labels and written records are provided after every visit to support fire risk assessments, internal checks and external inspections.
We plan visits around site operations wherever possible. Our engineers work efficiently and respectfully, ensuring disruption to staff, residents, visitors or yard activity is kept to an absolute minimum.
