Below are answers to questions we are frequently asked by local clients about fire extinguisher servicing.
1. Do new fire extinguishers require servicing and maintenance?
All extinguishers should be subject to a commissioning process on initial installation at the location the unit is being installed. It is a common misconception that new extinguishers are immediately ready for use.
2. How long does a servicing visit usually take?
Each extinguisher typically takes around three to five minutes to service. Overall visit duration depends on the number of units on site.
3. Do you cover areas outside Stanford-le-Hope?
Yes, Safe I.S. has a professional team of local expert engineers across Essex and nationwide, providing fire safety services all delivered to the same BAFE SP101 third-party accredited standard.
4. What checks are included during servicing?
Checks include pressure levels, operating components, seals, signage, mounting, accessibility and overall condition, with refilling or replacement carried out where necessary.
5. Are your quotations fixed price or do you charge for service consumables?
During the service of an extinguisher, small consumable parts (such as pins, tags, gauge stickers, o-rings & seals) must be replaced as part of the process. This isn't an optional extra as we must change the majority of these items on every visit to comply with British Standards, so we don't think it should be a hidden cost that is added to an invoice after the visit. At Safe I.S. we include these small consumable items in our fixed price quotation (based on the number of units in the property) meaning there are no surprises following our visit on your invoice.
