RB Services services, maintains and supplies fire extinguishers for businesses across Birmingham from our office on Dalton Street, working to BS 5306-3, the British Standard for extinguisher maintenance.
Every visit ends with updated service labels and a full service report, with any faults clearly identified and explained.
Our fire extinguisher servicing in Birmingham follows a structured on-site process carried out in line with BS 5306-3, ensuring equipment is properly maintained and remains suitable for the environment it protects.
During each visit, extinguishers are inspected for condition, pressure levels and mechanical operation. Safety pins, tamper seals, hoses and discharge components are checked, and units are assessed to confirm they are correctly positioned and accessible.
We also review whether extinguisher types remain appropriate for the fire risks present. Any faults such as pressure loss, damage, corrosion or missing components are clearly identified and explained. Where replacement is necessary, suitable units can be supplied as part of our fire extinguisher supply service to maintain effective protection. Once complete, service labels are updated and a full service report is provided.
BS 5306-3 sets out three levels of maintenance. Every extinguisher needs a basic service at least once a year. Water, foam and powder extinguishers also need an extended service, including a test discharge, every five years, and CO₂ extinguishers need an overhaul with a hydraulic pressure test every ten years.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for a workplace, usually the employer or whoever controls the premises, must make sure fire safety equipment is subject to a suitable system of maintenance and kept in efficient working order. In Birmingham, the Order is enforced by West Midlands Fire Service. A regular service by a competent technician, backed by written records, gives you evidence that this duty is being met.
We look after fire extinguishers for offices, shops, schools, healthcare settings, restaurants and bars, factories, warehouses and managed properties across Birmingham, from single units to multi-site portfolios.
Part of every service is checking that the extinguishers still suit the risks on site. Offices and server rooms typically need CO₂ for electrical equipment, commercial kitchens need wet chemical extinguishers for cooking oil and fat fires, and most premises need water or foam for fires involving paper, wood and fabric.
When an extinguisher is damaged, has lost pressure, is the wrong type for the risk or has reached the end of its working life, we explain the options and can supply a suitable replacement through our fire extinguisher supply service.
We can also supply additional extinguishers where your premises or fire risks have changed.

Our engineers also service fire alarm systems, checking that detection and warning devices operate correctly and recording any faults.
An EICR checks the condition of your fixed wiring and electrical installation, identifying deterioration, defects and anything that needs remedial work.
The main factor is how many extinguishers are on site, along with whether any need replacing. Let us know the number and types on your premises and we will come back with a quote, with no obligation.
BS 5306-3 calls for a basic service at least once a year, an extended service every five years for water, foam and powder extinguishers, and an overhaul every ten years for CO₂ extinguishers.
The responsible person for the premises, usually the employer or whoever controls the building, has a duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to keep fire safety equipment, including extinguishers, maintained and in efficient working order.
Yes, if any extinguishers are found to be damaged, unsuitable or no longer functioning correctly, replacement units can be provided as part of the service. We can also supply suitable fire extinguishers where required to ensure continued protection.
CO₂ extinguishers are the usual choice for electrical equipment such as computers and server rooms because they leave no residue. Standard water extinguishers should not be used on live electrical equipment. During each service we check that the types on site match the risks.
Insurers may ask for evidence that your fire safety equipment is maintained. The updated service labels and written report from each visit give you that record.
You can arrange fire extinguisher servicing by contacting our team or submitting a quote request. We will confirm availability, discuss your requirements and schedule a suitable visit for your premises.
