Fire Extinguisher Servicing & Maintenance

Stay Compliant. Stay Protected.

At HK Fire Ltd, we provide reliable, fully certified Fire Extinguisher Servicing and Maintenance to keep your premises safe and compliant. As a legal requirement under UK fire safety regulations, fire extinguishers must be regularly maintained to ensure they will function correctly in the event of a fire.

Whether you're a small business, large commercial site, landlord, or facilities manager, we offer professional, cost-effective servicing tailored to your fire safety needs.

Why Fire Extinguisher Servicing Is Essential

  • Legal Requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
  • Must comply with BS 5306-3:2017 for servicing standards
  • Ensures your extinguishers are safe, charged, and fit for purpose
  • Reduces liability and protects your staff, visitors, and property
  • Required for valid fire risk assessments and insurance compliance

A non-functioning or expired fire extinguisher can be life-threatening in a real emergency. That’s why proper inspection and servicing is critical—not optional.
