What’s required of Great Yarmouth premises
Fire safety law requires the responsible person for a premises to put in place, and maintain, appropriate fire safety measures, and that includes firefighting equipment such as extinguishers. The law doesn’t set out a servicing method itself. The recognised code of practice for extinguisher maintenance, BS 5306-3, recommends an inspection by the user every month and a basic service by a competent person at least once a year, and that’s the standard we work to.
The responsible person is the employer, owner, landlord, occupier, or anyone else with control of the premises, such as a facilities manager or managing agent. Where there’s more than one, they have to work together.

Great Yarmouth’s premises range from seafront hotels, guest houses and holiday parks, busiest in the summer season, to the port and offshore energy businesses at South Denes and the industrial estates around Gapton Hall and Harfreys. Seasonal sites often find it easiest to have checks done before the season starts.
If you have several sites in and around Great Yarmouth, tell us where they are and we’ll look at grouping them into fewer visits.
What an extinguisher service includes
- A service of every extinguisher on site, to BS 5306-3
- A check of type, size and siting against the risks on your premises
- Extended service and discharge testing where it has fallen due
- Refills and replacements where needed, kitemarked to BS EN 3
- Certification for your compliance records
- A reminder before your next service is due
Why type and siting matter
Servicing isn’t only about the date on the label. An in-date extinguisher of the wrong type, or in the wrong place, still leaves a gap. That’s why our engineers check what you have against the risks on your premises, not just whether each unit works.
Our extinguisher engineers hold a BAFE-recognised qualification.

Questions from Great Yarmouth customers
Is extinguisher servicing a legal requirement?
The law requires the responsible person to maintain appropriate fire safety measures, including firefighting equipment. It doesn’t set out a servicing method itself; the recognised code of practice, BS 5306-3, recommends an annual service by a competent person.
How much does extinguisher servicing cost in Great Yarmouth?
It depends on how many extinguishers you have, their types, and whether any are due an extended service or refill this year. Tell us the number of extinguishers and your address and we’ll send a price for the work.
Do you check we have the right extinguishers?
Yes. As well as servicing each unit, we check the types, sizes and positions against the risks on your premises, and tell you if anything should change.
We have several sites in Great Yarmouth. Can you look after all of them?
Yes. Due dates and certificates are kept for each site, and visits grouped where that works operationally.
What happens if an extinguisher fails its service?
We’ll tell you what failed and why, and quote for a refill or a replacement. New extinguishers are kitemarked to BS EN 3 and come with a 12-month warranty.
Not due yet? Tell us when it is and we’ll email you a month before, with a link to get a quote.
