Is Your Fire Safety Equipment Due for a Service? Here’s What You Need to Know

Fire safety compliance is essential for all businesses ensuring staff, customers, and premises remain protected from fire hazards. Regular maintenance of fire safety equipment isn't just a legal requirement—it's a critical step in preventing fire incidents and ensuring emergency readiness.

Why Regular Fire Safety Equipment Servicing Matters

Fire extinguishers, alarms, emergency lighting, and other fire safety measures must function perfectly in an emergency. Equipment can become faulty or ineffective without routine checks, putting businesses at serious risk. At The Firehouse Group, we help companies in Sheffield and South Yorkshire stay compliant by offering professional servicing and maintenance of essential fire protection systems.

How Often Should Fire Safety Equipment Be Serviced?

 Fire Extinguishers – Fire extinguishers must be serviced annually by a qualified technician to ensure they are in full working order. Additionally, businesses should conduct monthly visual checks for damage, leaks, or pressure loss.

 Fire Alarms—Your staff should test Fire alarm systems weekly and have them professionally serviced at least every six months. Regular maintenance ensures the system remains fully operational during a fire. Find out more about our fire alarm solutions.

Emergency Lighting – Emergency lighting should be tested monthly with a full annual test to verify its functionality. This ensures that pathways remain lit in an emergency, helping safe evacuation from your premises.

Fire Risk Assessments – A fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly, at least once a year, and updated whenever there are changes to the premises, staff, or operational processes. Our team of fire safety specialists in Sheffield provides thorough assessments to help your business remain compliant. Book your assessment today.
