Fire Extinguisher Testing in East Lothian

East Lothian's hospitality economy — hotels, restaurants, holiday cottages, and the famous golf clubs along the East Lothian coast — places particular emphasis on fire safety. A fire in a busy hotel during the summer season, or in a listed building on Haddington's High Street, could be catastrophic. Annual BS 5306-compliant fire extinguisher servicing is both a legal requirement and a sensible investment.

Our annual service includes full inspection, pressure and weight testing, replacement of safety seals, advice on siting and correct extinguisher types, and a written service certificate for your fire log book. We schedule visits to minimise disruption — early mornings for hospitality, out-of-hours for retail, and coordinated multi-site visits for estates and golf clubs.

East Lothian FAQs

Fire Extinguisher Maintenance in East Lothian — Questions Answered

How often must fire extinguishers be serviced in East Lothian?

+
Every extinguisher in a East Lothian non-domestic premises needs an annual basic service under BS 5306-3, a five-year extended service for water/foam/powder units, and a ten-year overhaul (or replacement) for stored-pressure units. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 makes this a legal duty for every employer, landlord, and building owner.

What happens during a East Lothian fire extinguisher service?

+
We inspect every extinguisher for pressure, corrosion, seal integrity and correct mounting, service internal components per BS 5306, update the service label, and re-commission the unit. We also check siting, signage, and whether the provision matches your current fire risk — many East Lothian premises have out-of-date provision after layout changes.

Can you supply new extinguishers if any fail in East Lothian?

+
Yes. If an extinguisher fails service in East Lothian we can supply and commission a compliant replacement the same visit — CO₂, water, foam, wet chemical or powder — so you leave the visit fully compliant and have no coverage gap.

Do Scottish Fire and Rescue inspections require a service certificate?

+
Yes. On inspection in East Lothian, the SFRS officer will ask to see the current BS 5306 service certificate for every firefighting appliance. Our digital certificate is accepted as proof and we can resend it anytime on request.
