Effective fire safety management begins with reliable equipment. However, having equipment on-site is not enough; it must work when you need it. At RB Services, we provide comprehensive Fire Extinguisher Servicing throughout the West Midlands. We ensure your business meets all legal requirements and, more importantly, keeps your staff and premises safe.
Fire safety regulations in the UK are strict. Specifically, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a duty on business owners to maintain their fire safety equipment. Consequently, regular maintenance is not optional; it is a legal necessity.
We specialise in helping businesses across the West Midlands navigate these regulations. Whether you operate a single office in Solihull or a chain of retail stores across Wolverhampton and Coventry, our team delivers consistent, high-quality support. We position ourselves as your partner in safety, ensuring that your fire extinguisher servicing is never a burden.
You might wonder why professional servicing is required if the extinguisher hasn’t been used. Over time, extinguishers can lose pressure, seals can degrade, and hoses can become blocked by debris. These issues are often invisible to the untrained eye.
All our servicing is conducted in strict accordance with BS 5306-3. This British Standard dictates the maintenance procedures for portable fire extinguishers. Therefore, when we sign off on your equipment, you know it meets the highest national standards.
An unserviced extinguisher is a liability. If a fire breaks out and a unit fails to discharge, the consequences can be devastating. Regular fire extinguisher servicing identifies these faults before they become critical risks. For example, we often find units that have been accidentally discharged or tampered with, rendering them useless.
Most business insurance policies require proof of a valid maintenance contract. If you cannot provide a service certificate following a fire, your insurer may refuse to pay out. Thus, our annual service visits protect your financial security as well as your physical safety.

Fire extinguishers should be serviced at least once a year, as required by fire safety regulations.
