Fire Extinguishers

At Castle Fire Services Ltd, we understand that fire extinguishers are more than simply pieces of equipment — they are your first line of defence against fire. For commercial, industrial and multi-occupancy premises across the West Midlands (including Dudley, Wolverhampton and the surrounding area), we deliver expert fire extinguisher services that help you remain fully compliant, safe and audit-ready.

Why Fire Extinguisher Maintenance Matters

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO), the “Responsible Person” must ensure that all fire-fighting equipment is **subject to a suitable system of maintenance and kept in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair”. 
Additionally, the relevant British Standards – such as BS 5306‑3 (servicing of portable fire extinguishers) and BS 5306‑8 (selection and positioning) – set out the technical benchmarks for competence, service intervals and record keeping.
Failing to maintain extinguishers properly can leave you exposed to enforcement action, invalid insurance cover, and serious risk to life and property.

Our Comprehensive Fire Extinguisher Service

We provide a complete service package tailored for your business’s needs — from annual routine servicing to full overhaul and replacement support:

• Detailed inspection and servicing: We check every portable fire extinguisher on your premises for correct type, mounting, accessibility, pressure gauge, tamper-seal integrity, corrosion, label legibility, hose/nozzle condition and overall functionality. se

• Annual servicing: Carried out at least every 12 months by a qualified technician, in strict accordance with BS 5306-3. 

• Extended / overhaul servicing: For many extinguisher types, an extended service or overhaul is required every 5 years (for water, foam, powder units) or every 10 years (for CO₂ cylinders) to verify cylinder integrity, pressure testing and full internal inspection. Global Compliance UK+1

• Positioning & suitability review: We assess whether you have the correct extinguisher types and capacities for your risks (such as water/foam for Class A, CO₂ for electrical risks, wet-chemical for kitchens). We check that travel distances, signage and mounting meet BS 5306-8 guidelines. FireJet
