Fire extinguishers are life-saving equipment and should be inspected and serviced frequently, not only by the professionals, but also by business owners. According to Paul Mayfair - manager of SK Fire Protection in the UK, there seems to be a general misconception that brand new fire extinguishers can be installed at business premises without being commissioned as ‘serviced’ in accordance with the prescribed British Standards.

“The servicing of fire extinguishers is critical and usually involves an annual inspection of the fire extinguisher on-site, which is referred to as Basic Fire Extinguisher Service. Depending on the type of fire extinguisher, some may also require Extended Servicing which is carried every five to 10 years,” Mayfair explained.

SK Fire Protection is known across the nation as a leading, well-established UK based Fire Safety and Equipment Specialist that serves businesses all over London, Nottingham, Birmingham, Lincoln, Leicester, and many other areas. Their duly trained and friendly consultants are always available to answer questions or to provide customers with sound advice on their fire safety equipment.

They have a stellar reputation in the fire and safety industry and apart from the outstanding service they provide customers with, they also supply products of the highest quality. This includes fire extinguishers that are endorsed by the British Government’s and carries its stamp of approval.

The servicing of fire extinguishers is equally important to SK Fire Protection, as the equipment itself as it can mean the difference between life and death in critically dangerous situations. When they supply customers with a standard fire extinguisher, it is fully commissioned as serviced and labelled with a 12-month validation certificate for fire inspection and insurance purposes, and it comes with a five-year warranty.

Their maintenance packages include the recharging of fire extinguishers that have been cleared or emptied and where relevant, some Co2 fire extinguishers can also be completely overhauled by SK Fire Protection. Their team of experts will also identify damaged or non-compliant fire extinguishers that need replacement and provide you with a free written or oral quotation.

On their part, customers also need to inspect their fire and safety equipment at least once a week and log the information on a chart to ensure nothing is left to chance in case of emergency.
