Thaxted is unlike most towns in Essex. With its medieval streets, timber-framed buildings, independent shops and well-used community spaces, fire safety here needs a considered, site-specific approach. Safe I.S. provides professional fire extinguisher servicing throughout Thaxted and the surrounding villages, helping property owners and duty holders meet their legal responsibilities while protecting people, buildings and livelihoods.
Our work in and around Thaxted includes everything from small retail premises and offices near the town centre to schools, places of worship, care settings and residential properties with shared areas. Many buildings in the area are older, have non-standard layouts or limited access routes, which means fire extinguisher provision and ongoing maintenance must be carefully matched to how the building is actually used day to day.

Thaxted includes listed buildings, converted properties, schools and community venues alongside more modern premises. Our engineers understand the challenges these environments can present, from limited wall space and conservation considerations to fluctuating occupancy during events and seasonal activity. Servicing is adapted accordingly, while always meeting the requirements of British Standards.

Below are answers to some of the questions we are most often asked by property owners and organisations in Thaxted, helping you understand your responsibilities and how our BAFE SP101 accredited servicing supports ongoing fire safety and compliance.
1. Why is it important fire extinguishers are serviced and maintained?
We sometimes find that the importance of fire extinguishers is undervalued, but remember if a small fire broke out in your building, one of the first reactions is to look for an extinguisher to help either prevent the spread of fire or to help you escape. So the only way you can be totally at ease and confident that your extinguishers will work when needed, is by regularly servicing them.
2. What checks are included during servicing?
Our expert team of engineers are very thorough, their checks when visiting your premises include pressure levels, operating components, seals, signage, mounting, accessibility and overall condition, with refilling or replacement carried out where necessary.
3. Do you cover areas outside of Thaxted?
Yes, as well as covering the Thaxted area, Safe I.S. has a large team of trusted local expert engineers across the whole of Essex and also nationwide, providing reliable services delivered to the same BAFE SP101 third-party accredited standard.
4. Are there hidden additional costs on top of my quote?
No, our quotes include the replacement of small consumable parts such as pins, tags, gauge stickers, o-rings & seals, which sometimes must be replaced as part of the process. This isn't an optional extra as we must change the majority of these items to comply with British Standards, so there are no surprises or additional costs for you.
5. Is it a legal requirement to service and maintain my fire extinguishers?
Yes, it absolutely is. Under the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it is a legal requirement that a maintenance plan is in place for all fire safety equipment, and this plan includes fire extinguishers.
