Different premises. Different equipment needs.
Workplaces and specialist hazards
Offices, shops, kitchens, workshops and warehouses can present different fire risks. Equipment selection should follow the fire risk assessment.
- Review the hazards and equipment provision together
- Consider cooking, electrical and stored-material risks
- Keep extinguisher locations accessible and clearly identified
Shared and managed residential areas
Consider the building’s shared areas and identified fire precautions. Do not assume every private dwelling needs the same extinguisher provision.
- Check provision against the building’s assessment
- Monitor equipment in relevant shared or common areas
- Record faults and arrange appropriate corrective action
Keep routine checks and records clear
Routine visual checks help confirm that units remain present, accessible and apparently undamaged between professional services.
Record checks and act on faults. A check sheet supports ongoing monitoring but does not replace maintenance by a competent person.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What do fire extinguisher checks cover?
The scope can include location, access, physical condition, pressure indication where fitted, pins, seals, hoses or nozzles, instructions and service records. It can also highlight an obvious mismatch with the identified fire risk.
How do visual checks differ from professional servicing?
Routine visual checks look for missing, obstructed, damaged or apparently used units. Professional servicing involves a more structured inspection and the maintenance actions relevant to the extinguisher.
What should an extinguisher check sheet record?
Record the location, type or asset number, check date, accessibility, visible condition, pin and seal status, pressure indication where applicable and any action needed.
What happens if a unit is damaged or discharged?
Treat it as unavailable until a competent person confirms the required maintenance, recharge or replacement. The service record should identify the defect and recommended action.
Does the service report replace a fire risk assessment?
No. The report records extinguisher inspection and maintenance. The wider fire risk assessment guides the equipment needed for the premises and its hazards.
What information do you need before booking?
Share the property type, number and types of extinguishers, previous service details and access arrangements. Mention any damage, discharge or other known defects so the scope can be discussed.
