Expert Fire Extinguisher Servicing and Maintenance for Flats

Ensuring safety, compliance, and reliable protection for residents

Fire Extinguisher Services Tailored for Residential Flats

Residential buildings range from small blocks of flats to high-rise apartment complexes, each with unique fire risks. Shared entrances, stairwells, communal corridors, utility rooms, and storage areas all present specific hazards influenced by occupancy, electrical systems, and resident activity. Fire extinguishers in these settings need regular attention to ensure they remain effective, compliant, and fit for purpose.

Safe I.S. offers structured fire extinguisher servicing specifically for flats. Our BAFE SP101 accredited engineers perform detailed inspections, checking operating pressure, safety components, internal and external condition, secure mounting, visibility, signage, and accessibility. Servicing is carried out with consideration for resident safety, secure access, and the need to maintain unobstructed escape routes at all times.
