Fire Extinguisher Servicing Cardiff
BS 5306 compliant supply, installation, servicing and refilling across Cardiff and South Wales — including one of the only in-house refilling services still operating in the region.
Portable fire extinguishers are the first line of defence in any fire emergency, and the law requires them to be correctly specified, installed, and maintained. MH Fire & Security provides a fully compliant service from initial risk assessment and extinguisher selection through to annual servicing and — uniquely in South Wales — in-house refilling. All our work is carried out by BAFE Qualified Engineers to BS 5306 Part 3 (inspection and maintenance) and BS 5306 Part 8 (selection and positioning), ensuring your premises meet their legal obligations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. We supply and service all extinguisher types: water, water mist, foam, CO₂, dry powder, wet chemical, and clean agent.
Our Fire Extinguisher Servicing Cardiff Solutions
Supply & Installation
We supply and install the correct type and number of extinguishers for your premises, positioned and mounted in accordance with BS 5306 Part 8. Every installation is backed by a certificate of compliance.
Annual Servicing to BS 5306
BS 5306 Part 3 requires all portable extinguishers to be inspected and serviced at least annually by a competent person. Our engineers carry out thorough inspections, extended service, and overhaul intervals as required by the standard.
In-House Extinguisher Refilling
We are one of the only companies in South Wales that still refills extinguishers in-house rather than simply replacing them. This means lower costs for you, less waste, and a fully traceable refill record — all to BS 5306 standards.
Fire Risk Assessment Guidance
Correct extinguisher selection starts with understanding your fire risk. We work alongside your fire risk assessment to ensure the right agents are specified for the hazards present in your building.
All Extinguisher Types
Water, water mist, foam (AFFF), CO₂, dry powder (ABC), wet chemical (for commercial kitchens), and clean agent (Halon replacement) — we supply, service, and refill the full range.
Extinguisher Signage & Stands
Correct identification signage and floor stands are a requirement of BS 5306. We supply and fit compliant ID signs and stands as part of every installation.
Why choose MH Fire & Security for fire extinguishers?
One of the Only South Wales Refilling Companies
Most fire safety companies in South Wales have stopped refilling extinguishers altogether, opting instead to replace them with new units. We still refill in-house — it's better for the environment, more cost-effective for you, and means your extinguishers are returned to the manufacturer's original specification.
Fully BS 5306 Compliant
Every service, installation, and refill we carry out is documented and certified to BS 5306. You receive a full service record and certificate after every visit, satisfying your insurer and the responsible person requirements under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Correct Specification from the Start
Fitting the wrong type of extinguisher is as dangerous as having none at all. Our engineers assess your premises and specify the correct agents, quantities, and locations in line with BS 5306 Part 8 and your fire risk assessment.
Transparent, Fixed-Price Servicing
We provide clear, upfront pricing for annual service contracts with no hidden charges. Service reminder notifications mean you never miss a compliance date.
