Below are answers to common questions from Great Dunmow property owners and duty holders responsible for fire extinguishers.
1. How often do fire extinguishers in Great Dunmow need servicing?
Fire extinguishers in Great Dunmow should be professionally serviced at least once every 12 months by a competent person, in line with British Standard BS 5306-3. Annual servicing helps ensure extinguishers remain in safe working order, are suitable for the fire risks present and continue to meet legal fire safety obligations for the premises.
2. How long does a fire extinguisher servicing visit usually take?
Each fire extinguisher typically takes around three to five minutes to inspect, depending on its type, condition and accessibility. The overall visit time will vary based on the number of extinguishers on site, but our engineers work efficiently to minimise disruption to your day-to-day operations.
3. What documentation will I receive after the servicing visit?
Following the service, you will receive clear and accurate documentation confirming the work completed. This includes service labels on each extinguisher and written records outlining their condition, any issues identified and any actions required. An up-to-date asset register can also be provided to support fire risk assessments and ongoing compliance.
