Vets fire extinguisher maintenance and servicing

Trusted Fire Extinguisher Servicing for Veterinary Centres

Professional maintenance for clinical and animal care environments

Protecting Clinical Spaces, Animal Wards and Support Areas

Veterinary centres combine medical treatment rooms, operating theatres, recovery areas, diagnostic suites, kennels, reception spaces and staff facilities within a single premises.

Unlike many commercial environments, veterinary premises must account not only for staff and visitors, but also for animals that may be sedated, contained or unable to be evacuated quickly. Portable fire extinguishers therefore form part of a wider fire safety strategy designed to support early-stage intervention while prioritising safe evacuation procedures.

Questions About Fire Extinguisher Services in Veterinary Centres

Below are answers to common queries raised by practice managers and responsible persons.

1. How often should extinguishers in a veterinary practice be serviced?

Portable fire extinguishers require annual servicing by a competent person in accordance with BS 5306-3. Additional inspections may be appropriate depending on environmental conditions and risk assessment findings.

2. What is included during a service visit?

Engineers inspect pressure levels, activation mechanisms, discharge components, internal condition, hose integrity, mounting brackets and signage. Minor consumable parts are replaced where required to maintain compliance.

No, servicing is typically brief for each unit. Access to extinguishers is required temporarily, and visits can be coordinated around surgical lists or busy consultation periods where necessary.

4. What documentation is provided?

Each visit concludes with updated service labels and detailed written records, supporting fire risk assessments, insurer requirements and potential inspection by enforcing authorities.

5. Which extinguisher types can you maintain?

We service a full range of portable extinguishers from 1kg to 20kg, including CO₂, water, water mist, foam, powder and wet chemical units, as well as fire blankets where installed.

The practical elements were particularly useful, ensuring our team feels confident and well-prepared to respond in the event of an emergency.
