In Newbury, fire extinguisher servicing plays a practical role in managing everyday fire risk and meeting responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Duty holders must ensure that firefighting equipment is appropriate for the hazards present, correctly installed and capable of operating effectively if needed. This requires more than a visual check and relies on structured inspection, maintenance and accurate record keeping. Safe I.S. engineers provide annual and extended servicing in accordance with BS 5306, with decisions guided by how each premises is actually laid out and used.
Servicing examines pressure levels, mechanical operation, internal and external condition, safety seals, signage, mounting height and accessibility. Clear service labels and written records are issued after each visit, providing auditable evidence of maintenance to support fire risk assessments, inspections and ongoing compliance.
Enquire NowNewbury supports a broad mix of premises, from town centre retail and offices to hospitality venues, schools, healthcare settings, industrial units and residential developments with shared access. Many sites combine public areas with storage, plant rooms or back-of-house spaces, while others operate across split levels or older building layouts. This variation means fire extinguisher servicing must reflect real-world use, occupancy and risk rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
