Colleges fire safety equipment maintenance

Fire Extinguisher Services Designed for Colleges and Further Education Settings

Colleges operate across a wide range of building types, from teaching blocks and workshops to libraries, laboratories, sports facilities and shared communal spaces. Fire risks vary significantly depending on how areas are used, occupancy levels and the presence of specialist equipment.

Fire extinguishers must therefore be maintained to a consistently high standard to ensure reliability, compliance and suitability across the campus. Safe I.S. provides structured fire extinguisher servicing tailored to further education environments. Our BAFE SP101 accredited engineers carry out detailed inspections covering operating pressure, safety devices, internal and external condition, mounting security, visibility, signage and accessibility.

Servicing is completed with an understanding of student movement, staff operations and the need to maintain clear escape routes at all times.

Why Colleges Trust Safe I.S. for Fire Extinguisher Servicing

Colleges often combine classroom-based learning with higher-risk activities such as engineering, construction, catering, science and performance arts. Fire extinguisher provision and maintenance must reflect these varied risks while remaining practical for staff use. Our engineers take a risk-based approach, ensuring extinguishers are appropriate for the environment, securely positioned and maintained without introducing unnecessary hazards in busy educational spaces.

Servicing Aligned with British Standards

All servicing is completed in line with BS 5306 and supports legal responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Updated service labels and written documentation are issued after each visit, providing clear evidence for audits, inspections and ongoing fire safety management.

Expert Engineers Providing Clear Guidance

Where servicing identifies issues such as extinguishers requiring refilling, replacement or relocation, advice is provided clearly and proportionately. All recommendations are linked directly to risk and compliance, with transparent pricing and no unnecessary work or unexpected charges.
