Maintenance & Inspection in Coalville

Regular maintenance and inspection of your fire extinguishers is a legal requirement to ensure they are safe for use and always in working condition. All types of fire extinguishers require an annual fire extinguisher inspection to check mechanisms, hoses, service history labelling, correct weight, correct pressure, signs of corrosion or damage and that regular discharge testing is carried out to British standard and manufacturers guidelines. Maintenance should be carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

At Smart Fire Safety, we offer a regular fire extinguisher inspection service to BS5306 standard by fully qualified engineers. We have an extremely diverse client base and serve clients with the same level of customer service regardless of whether you are a small business or a large blue chip organisation. Our service vehicles carry most of the spare parts, replacements and testing equipment required to enable us to leave your premises safe and compliant to the latest legislation.
