Common Fire Extinguisher Issues We Identify
Our Fire Extinguisher Inspection and Servicing is designed to identify defects and conditions that could affect the reliability and effectiveness of your fire extinguishers. Our experienced fire safety professionals inspect each extinguisher carefully and provide clear recommendations where attention is required.
During the inspection, we commonly identify issues such as low or incorrect pressure, damaged cylinders, corrosion, missing or broken safety pins and tamper seals, damaged hoses or nozzles, blocked discharge components, illegible operating instructions, and extinguishers that are incorrectly positioned or difficult to access.
We also check that extinguishers are securely mounted, clearly identifiable, unobstructed, suitable for their location, and maintained in accordance with their service requirements. Any defects or concerns are recorded clearly so that appropriate servicing, repair, or replacement can be arranged.

How Often Should Fire Extinguishers Be Serviced?
Fire extinguishers should be maintained in line with BS 5306-3, the British Standard for servicing portable fire extinguishers:
| Check | How often | Who |
|---|---|---|
| Visual check: in place, undamaged, pin and seal intact, gauge in the green | Monthly | The responsible person or a member of staff |
| Basic service | Every 12 months | A competent fire extinguisher engineer |
| Extended service (discharge test) for water, foam and powder extinguishers | Every 5 years | A competent engineer |
| Overhaul of CO2 extinguishers | Every 10 years | A competent engineer |
Extinguishers should also be checked after they have been used, damaged or moved.
How Much Does Fire Extinguisher Servicing Cost in London?
| Number of extinguishers | Fixed price |
|---|---|
| 1 to 3 | £80 |
| 3 to 6 | £100 |

Types of Fire Extinguisher and Their Colour Codes
All extinguishers in the UK have a red body with a coloured band or label that shows the type:
| Type | Label colour | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Water | Red | Wood, paper and textiles (Class A) |
| Foam | Cream | Class A fires and flammable liquids (Class B) |
| CO2 | Black | Electrical equipment and flammable liquids |
| Dry powder | Blue | Mixed fire risks, often outdoors or in plant rooms |
| Wet chemical | Yellow | Cooking oil and fat fires in kitchens (Class F) |
During the service we check that each extinguisher is the right type for the risks in that area.
Do Landlords Need Fire Extinguishers?
For a single home let to one household, there is no general legal requirement to provide fire extinguishers, although smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are required. For HMOs, blocks of flats with common parts and business premises, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires suitable firefighting equipment where the fire risk assessment says it is needed, and that equipment must be properly maintained. A fire blanket in shared kitchens is common in HMOs.
Your fire risk assessment should say which extinguishers you need and where they should go.
