Our philosophy has been, and always will be, to offer the best possible service to our customers, which we achieve through fully qualified engineers and our valued staff who are essential in what we are building.
Regular Maintenance and Servicing
Fireline is renowned for the quality of the products and service we offer and our aim is to look after and keep our customers. Using the latest technology, every engineer operates with a PDA keeping customer records up to date in real-time, which every customer has private access to.
All fire extinguishers are required to be inspected and maintained on an annual basis (at least) or after they have been used. Our previous projects include all types of clients ranging from small shops to large commercial projects, all carried out to the highest standards and at very competitive prices, which can be tailored to your budget.
We pride ourselves in completing all installations and servicing with the minimum of disruption.
Process of Commissioning
Commissioning of a new or refurbished extinguisher should be carried out by a competent person. After removal from its packaging and transit protection, and immediately before being placed in its designated location, the extinguisher must undergo the sequence of commissioning service actions described in British Standards, with the safety precautions being carefully observed.
In the event that the manufacturer has not marked the mass of the extinguisher or a nominal range of mass for the extinguisher, the competent person should consult the manufacturer’s workshop manual for that model or contact the manufacturer to obtain this information.
When all of these checks have been satisfactorily completed, the extinguisher should be installed and positioned in accordance with BS 5306-8.
Certified & Registered
Fireline specialises in the service of portable fire extinguishers, hose reels, trolley units and fire blankets in accordance with British Standards and Amendments. All work is certified by our BAFE registered technicians.
Detailed location lists and budgeting/fixed price maintenance is all part of the service.
Essential Maintenance?
All types of extinguisher require a regular fire extinguisher inspection to check weight, correct pressure and for signs of corrosion or damage. Cartridge extinguishers are opened up for internal inspection and we check the weight of the cartridge. Labels are checked so that they are readable and dip tubes, hoses and mechanisms are checked to see if they work properly.
At Fireline, we offer a regular fire extinguisher inspection to all of our clients and regardless of the size of your property or company, will come and visit you in your offices.

Under the British Standard, an extended service - otherwise known as discharge testing - is to be carried out at stipulated intervals. For water, foam, dry powder or wet chemical extinguishers, this is every 5 years. CO2 extinguishers require extended servicing every 10 years. In the case of powder or CO2 extinguishers, you will be offered a service exchange unit which is more practical and economical than emptying and refilling the contents.
Our Service Department will remind you when your annual service is due and make the necessary arrangements for an engineer to visit. Furthermore, we operate an online database which means your servicing and equipment records (including manufacturer, year of manufacture, next test discharge date and each extinguisher's location) is maintained in our database, to which you will also have access. This is particularly beneficial if you are a multi-site company, as at a glance you can see in real-time when sites are due a service.
