Midlothian FAQs

Fire Extinguisher Maintenance in Midlothian — Questions Answered

How often must fire extinguishers be serviced in Midlothian?

+
Every extinguisher in a Midlothian 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 Midlothian 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We also check siting, signage, and whether the provision matches your current fire risk — many Midlothian premises have out-of-date provision after layout changes.

Can you supply new extinguishers if any fail in Midlothian?

+
Yes. If an extinguisher fails service in Midlothian 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 Midlothian, 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.
