Dedicated Restoration and Compliance

Refurbishment is a cost-effective alternative to replacing equipment that is not yet at

the end of its service life. Our comprehensive refurbishment process includes:

  • Detailed Assessment: Each extinguisher is thoroughly inspected for internal and external signs of wear or damage.


  • Disassembly and Cleaning: Components are disassembled and cleaned to remove any residue or blockages that could impede performance.


  • Replacement of Parts: Critical components such as valves, O-rings, and hoses are replaced with approved parts to ensure optimal functionality.


  • Recharging with Agent: Extinguishers are recharged with the correct extinguishing agent, following strict safety protocols.


  • Pressure Testing: To guarantee safety and reliability, extinguishers undergo rigorous pressure testing to detect any leaks or weaknesses.


  • Finishing Touches: We apply a fresh coat of paint if necessary and replace instruction labels to ensure clear visibility and instructions for use.


  • Re-certification: Once refurbished, extinguishers are re-certified to confirm they meet all the required safety standards.

Overview of Fire Extinguisher Services

Purchasing, Commissioning and Installation

 

In the guidance documents provided for fire safety legislation (England and Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland) the recommendation is that part of an employers’ measures for protecting their staff and others from fire is to install independently tested and certificated fire extinguishers. BS 5306-8 notes that all workplaces will require the provision of a minimum of two water based (Class A) extinguishers with a combined minimum total fire rating of

26A per story or level up to 400mtr2 as primary protection (Clause 8.2.1). In addition, all other classes of risks such as electrical equipment and flammable liquids need to be separately addressed and the relevant extinguishers provided. A Fire Risk Assessment will identify all requirements/actions needed. A quality fire extinguisher provider will also be able to identify what is required but would be best to work with the person performing the fire risk assessment to ensure this mitigates risk as best as possible.


Both the Home Office and the Fire & Rescue Services recommend extinguishers approved to the European Standard BS EN3 and compliant with BS 5306-10 (formerly BS 7863) colour coding code of practice.

 

Commissioning

 

BS 5306-3 (Clause 5.1) states All extinguishers should be subject to commissioning on initial positioning. The commissioning of an extinguisher should be carried out by a competent person. Upon removal from its packaging and transit protection, and immediately prior to placing in its designated place, the extinguisher should undergo the sequence of commissioning service actions taking into account the safety precautions. Upon completion of the above procedures the extinguisher should then be installed and positioned in accordance with BS 5306-8.

 

Maintenance


Extinguishers should be regularly checked by the nominated person to make sure that appliances are in their proper position and have not been tampered with. They should also be routinely inspected by a competent service technician to ensure they have not been discharged or lost pressure. The UK servicing standard BS 5306-3 puts the responsibility on the user (i.e. the company) to use a competent person to perform the annual inspections, install, commission (skilled checks made to the extinguisher on-site), service and test discharge fire extinguishers. They should also replace extinguishers that are no longer usable with serviceable extinguishers.


BS 5306-8 (Clause 4.7) states The extinguishers referred to in this part of BS 5306 should be commissioned, inspected, tested and maintained by a competent person in accordance with BS 5306-3
