For premises in Thatcham, fire extinguisher servicing forms an important part of managing fire precautions and meeting responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Duty holders must ensure that firefighting equipment remains appropriate for the risks present, correctly installed and capable of operating effectively if required. Achieving this relies on planned inspection, maintenance and clear documentation rather than informal or occasional checks.
Enquire NowThatcham includes a broad mix of property types, from town centre shops and offices to industrial units, schools, healthcare settings and residential developments with shared areas. Some buildings operate from older layouts, while others form part of newer estates with communal access routes and changing occupancy levels. This range of environments means fire extinguisher servicing must be based on practical risk and building use, rather than a fixed or standardised approach.
All fire extinguisher servicing is delivered under the BAFE SP101 third-party certification scheme. This independent accreditation confirms that our engineers, training, servicing procedures and quality management systems meet recognised industry benchmarks. Appointing Safe I.S. supports duty holders in demonstrating compliance and the use of a competent person under UK fire safety legislation.

From premises around the town centre and The Broadway to business units near the A4 and residential developments across the surrounding area, we understand the local factors that influence fire safety. These include shared access routes, mixed-use layouts, storage areas and varying occupancy throughout the day.
Where servicing identifies issues such as unsuitable extinguisher types, poor positioning or equipment nearing the end of its service life, recommendations are explained clearly and proportionately. Advice is focused on managing risk and compliance, not upselling or unnecessary changes.
Where extinguishers are discharged, damaged or no longer suitable, we provide dependable refilling and replacement solutions to ensure fire protection remains effective without delay.
All work supports duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the relevant sections of BS 5306. Updated service labels and written records are issued after every visit to support audits, inspections and ongoing fire safety management.
