FAQ
Do I have to have a fire extinguisher annual service by law?

Yes. If you have more than 5 staff on the premises, it is a legal requirement.

If I claim on my business insurance without an certificate of maintenance will they pay out?

No. It is the responsibility of the company to make sure an annual service is carried out on the building/premises each and every year.

My insurance company has only stated that I need fire extinguishers to be covered.

All fire extinguishers should be commissioned into service by a qualified engineer and serviced annually in accordance with British Standard EN3 2005. This is the British Standard that insurance companies use as a rule of thumb. Without a current Certificate of Maintenance your policy is void but some insurance companies may not make this information clear to their policyholders.

My unit is rented and my landlord says I'm covered.

This is most likely covering his/her building and not your contents within the unit - that comes under your own business insurance. Unless your (written) agreement states otherwise, it is unlikely that in the case of a fire any contents in the unit would be insured. Any claim would be through your own business insurance and not your landlord. Relying on a landlord's insurance is a common and costly mistake - one which may only be discovered after a claim is submitted.

How long is the life of a fire extinguisher?

From 10-20 years depending on the type.

Can we end the service contract at anytime?

We only require 4 weeks written notice.
