Fire Extinguisher Site Survey FAQs
What is a fire extinguisher site survey?
A fire extinguisher site survey assesses the premises, occupancy and fire risks to help determine the appropriate type, number and positioning of portable fire extinguishers. It can also identify requirements for associated fire safety signage and specialist firefighting equipment where appropriate.
When should I have a fire extinguisher site survey?
A survey is particularly useful for new premises, refurbished buildings, changes of use, premises where the fire risks have changed, or where the existing extinguisher provision is uncertain, incomplete or requires review.
What standard is used for fire extinguisher site surveys?
Kings Fire carries out fire extinguisher site surveys with reference to BS 5306-8, which provides guidance on the selection and positioning of portable fire extinguishers within buildings.
Is a fire extinguisher site survey different from annual servicing?
Yes. A site survey considers whether the type, quantity and location of the extinguishers are suitable for the premises and its fire risks. Annual extinguisher servicing is concerned with the ongoing inspection and maintenance of the equipment and is carried out in accordance with BS 5306-3.
Does a fire extinguisher survey replace a fire risk assessment?
No. A fire extinguisher site survey specifically considers portable firefighting equipment and associated requirements. A fire risk assessment considers the wider fire risks and fire safety arrangements throughout the premises.
Can Kings Fire survey existing fire extinguishers?
Yes. We can review existing extinguisher provision to assess whether the equipment remains appropriate for the current layout, occupancy and fire risks, and identify where additional, replacement or alternative extinguishers may be required.
Can Kings Fire supply and install the extinguishers after the survey?
Yes. Following the survey, Kings Fire can supply, commission and install suitable fire extinguishers and associated signage. We can also provide ongoing annual fire extinguisher servicing and maintenance.
Are Kings Fire BAFE registered for fire extinguisher services?
Yes. Kings Fire Ltd is a BAFE SP101 Registered Organisation for the maintenance of portable fire extinguishers, giving customers confidence that the service is provided through a competent third-party certified organisation.
