Our team ensures you are fully prepared in the case of a fire related emergency, servicing your fire protection equipment and providing expert advice that explains any additional actions that may be required.
Why is Fire Extinguisher Maintenance Important?
The British Standards state that all fire extinguishers, whether they are water-based, powder, CO2, or other types, are required to be serviced annually to ensure they are functioning properly.
For business owners, it is their responsibility to ensure the safety of any staff and visitors to the business premises. Simply providing the correct fire protection equipment is just the start and this equipment needs to be regularly maintained to ensure it remains effective.
At RTJ we install, service and maintain a wide selection of fire extinguishers and fire equipment for a variety of environments, from offices to warehouses to industrial sites. Our expert team ensures you are always prepared for any fire emergency.
Fire Extinguisher Servicing
A professional fire extinguisher service requires the correct tools, industry training, and skilled expertise. During servicing, the RTJ team will undertake several essential tasks, from replacing the seal on the headcap to checking the effectiveness of the safety pin, testing the pressure gauge to replacing any O Rings. A visual inspection will also be completed to ensure the equipment is in full working order.
Fire Extinguisher Visual Checks
Routine visual checks are just as crucial as professional servicing. At least once a month, inspect the pin, seal, and pressure gauge to ensure everything is in proper working order. Also, verify that the extinguisher is securely mounted and that the instructions remain clear and easy to read.
