Fire Extinguisher Maintenance & Servicing (North East)
Regular maintenance is essential with safety products such as fire extinguishers. British Standard Code of Practice BS 5306 Part 3 recommends that your fire extinguisher servicing is carried out at least annually to ensure that they will always function in an emergency.
The range of fire extinguishers we supply will provide many years of reliable fire protection only if properly maintained and regularly serviced by a competent engineer.
Our engineers will visit on a regular basis to ensure your equipment is kept ready for that unwanted incident.
Electrical Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)(UK wide)
Why do we electrical PAT test?
The legal requirement for electrical PAT testing comes from the Electricity at Work Regulations. This requires employers to maintain "electrical systems" at work to prevent any danger. Electrical systems refer to the installation as well as all the appliances connected to it. A qualified electrician should normally inspect the installation at periodic intervals. For an office, this is typically every 5 years and for say a hotel, it may need to be done annually.
Which products do we need to electrical PAT test?
Basically, anything that can be moved has to be maintained. The reason for this is that most of the damage occurs to the power cord or the plug and the chances of this happening are higher if the appliance can be moved. So one has to electrical PAT test fridge freezers, washing machines etc. even though they are not "portable".
Of course items that are handheld, such as drills, hair dryers etc. can suffer damage more easily. For this reason they are maintained more frequently than stationary items such as fridge freezers.
