Fire extinguisher maintenance in Harlow is a legal duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must ensure that firefighting equipment is kept in an efficient state, remains in proper working order and is maintained in good repair at all times.
Our engineers complete routine and extended fire extinguisher servicing in line with BS 5306, confirming that equipment remains safe to use, correctly positioned and suitable for the fire risks present within the building. This includes checks on pressure, condition, mounting, signage, accessibility and location, supported by clear service records that assist with inspections, audits and ongoing compliance.
Enquire NowHarlow features a wide variety of premises, including town centre offices, retail units, schools, healthcare settings, industrial estates, residential developments and shared-use buildings. Fire safety requirements can differ significantly depending on how a property is occupied, the number of people using it, and the activities taking place inside, making a practical, site-specific approach essential.
From commercial units around the town centre and retail parks to industrial sites on Harlow’s business estates and residential buildings across surrounding neighbourhoods, we understand the differing fire safety considerations that apply to local premises and how they are used day to day.
All fire extinguisher maintenance is delivered under the BAFE SP101 third-party certification scheme. This demonstrates that our engineers, training, equipment and quality management systems have been independently assessed against recognised industry benchmarks. By appointing Safe I.S., duty holders can be confident they are using a competent provider in line with UK fire safety legislation.
If extinguishers have been discharged, are approaching end of service life or are no longer suitable for the risks present, we provide compliant refilling and replacement options that align with current standards and building use.
