- Replace small consumables (o-rings, tags, pins).
- Inspect hoses, horns, body, and condition for damage or corrosion.
- Confirm extinguishers are clean, unobstructed, and correctly mounted with clear signage.
- Ensure instructions are legible and up to standard.
- Record and report any non-compliance, including failures or units due for discharge tests.
- Provide full service documentation and certification.
- Maintain an asset register with extinguisher type, condition, location, and notes.

Testimonials
“We have a annual service agreement with Walker to service on security systems. I’d recommend them to any company”
“Brilliant full integrated security system installed and maintained by Walker. Fast response to our enquires. Would recommend.”
The two lads upgrading the system have been absolutely brilliant. Their customer service skills are excellent – they accommodated every customer living in the building. They have done a really good job; they were very polite and cleaned up after themselves every day. Nothing seemed to be a problem to them. They are both a credit to Walker.”
“We are really happy with Walker’s teams work on our fire system. When the wiring proved worn due to its age they gave honest advice and helped us repair and maintain our system.”
Andy Ambrose came to service our alarm yesterday and we are very happy to report his service, attitute and helpfulness were of the highest order. He resolved a number of previous fudges in the alarm control box, gave us very useful advice and with his most pleasant manner he made sure we felt we got good service.
It is rare these days that you as a customer feel you are getting service beyond the ‘tick box requirements’. Andy achieved this and so we pass on to you our congratulations.
“I have been dealing with Walker for about 3 years now and in all fairness, I cannot fault them. Their response has always been speedy and servicing is carried out to a very high standard.”

FAQs About UK Regulations (BS 5306:2017)
To comply with BS 5306:2017, fire extinguishers demand an annual basic inspection by a certified professional. Every 5 to 10 years, depending on the type, a more rigorous extended service (including discharge and refilling) is legally required. Fail to comply, and face the consequences.
BS 5306:2017 is the critical British Standard for fire extinguisher commissioning and maintenance. Disregarding it won’t just earn you a fine; it’s a direct route to severe legal penalties, invalidated insurance, and the devastating inability to suppress a fire, risking lives and your entire business.
Yes. Many issues with fire extinguishers are not visible to the untrained eye. Professional servicing identifies internal corrosion, pressure loss, blockages, or damaged components that could render an extinguisher useless in an emergency. It also ensures proper tagging and record-keeping for legal compliance.
We understand the immediate danger you face. While specific times depend on your urgent needs, our efficient engineers prioritise rapid deployment to minimise your exposure to risk and prevent disruption from an unforeseen fire.
