If a fire extinguisher fails inspection, it may need to be repaired, refilled, or replaced depending on the issue. Until it passes the required testing, the extinguisher should be taken out of service.

Our certified technicians conduct detailed inspections, testing, refilling, and routine maintenance to identify and resolve any issues promptly. Regular servicing not only extends the lifespan of your extinguishers but also guarantees reliable performance in the event of an emergency — helping you maintain full compliance and ensuring complete peace of mind.
Regular fire extinguisher servicing is essential for maintaining effective fire protection. An annual inspection confirms that each extinguisher is fully charged, accessible, and ready for use in an emergency. At FRA Pro frapro.co.uk all servicing is carried out in line with BS 5306 standards by qualified professionals, helping to prevent equipment failures and ensuring your premises remain safe and compliant.
n the UK, businesses must meet legal fire-safety obligations, including having fire extinguishers inspected every year. Annual servicing is carried out in accordance with BS 5306, with extra attention given to higher-risk environments. During the inspection, a qualified technician checks the pressure, looks for leaks or internal corrosion, and confirms the extinguisher will operate correctly in the event of a fire.
Failing to properly maintain fire extinguishers can lead to legal action and fines. Faulty or poorly serviced extinguishers may also fail during a fire, increasing the risk of serious damage or loss for which a business could be held responsible. Keeping your equipment properly maintained and compliant helps reduce these risks and gives you greater peace of mind.

Our commissioning service ensures that newly purchased fire extinguishers are installed correctly and in full compliance with safety regulations. This includes selecting the appropriate mounting location, verifying correct pressure levels, and confirming overall suitability for the environment.
During commissioning, technicians check the service label, pressure gauge, and overall condition of the extinguisher to confirm compliance. The type of extinguisher installed is chosen based on location and assessed risk factors.
Correctly commissioned extinguishers are ready for immediate use and positioned according to fire safety regulations, giving you confidence that your premises are both safe and compliant.
Proper installation ensures fire extinguishers are securely positioned in easily accessible locations, free from obstacles, and suited to their surrounding environment. Special attention is given to industrial, office, and kitchen areas to maximise safety and compliance.
Extinguishers should be mounted at accessible heights—typically around one metre above the floor—and in visible, easy-to-reach locations such as exits and high-risk areas.
The type of extinguisher should match the fire risk of each area. For example, CO₂ units are ideal for electrical areas, while wet chemical extinguishers are recommended for kitchens.
The responsible person inspects all fire extinguishers to ensure they are fully operational. This includes checking tamper seals, verifying the pressure gauge, and assessing the overall condition of each unit.
Key steps in the checklist include verifying that each fire extinguisher is fully charged, unobstructed, and ready for use. Inspectors also update the service tag with their initials after every check to maintain accurate records.
All inspections should be recorded in a fire safety logbook. The condition of each extinguisher and any maintenance or actions taken should be clearly noted. This ensures compliance with fire safety regulations and provides a complete maintenance history for reference.
