Brisbane businesses must have fire extinguishers serviced every 6 months by law.
Under AS 1851 and Queensland’s Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008, all commercial fire extinguishers must be inspected and serviced by a licensed technician every six months. Skipping a service risks fines, failed audits, and voided insurance.
What Fire Extinguisher Servicing Includes
Our licensed Brisbane technicians do the full job on-site — not just a quick visual check. Every service is carried out to AS 1851 standard and documented in a compliance report.
Full AS 1851 Inspection
Pressure gauge check, safety pin and seal inspection, hose and nozzle condition, location and mounting — all inspected to standard on every visit.
Discharged Unit Swap-Out
If an extinguisher has been used between services, we swap it out on the spot — a fully charged replacement unit in, old unit removed. No waiting, no off-site trips.
Tagging & Certification
Each extinguisher is tagged with the service date, technician ID, and previous service history — compliant with Queensland requirements.
Compliance Report
A clear, dated compliance report is issued after every service — ready for your records, body corporate, insurer, or fire audit.
Replacement & Installation
Need a replacement or an additional extinguisher? We supply, install, and certify the right type and size for your building during the same visit.
Free 6-Monthly Reminders
We log your next service date and contact you when it’s due. No paperwork to chase, no lapsed compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between fire extinguisher testing and servicing?
Testing checks whether your extinguisher is in working order — pressure, condition, and safety mechanism. Servicing is the full maintenance process: inspection, pressure check, parts replacement where needed (seals, hoses, pins), tagging, and issuing a compliance report. Under AS 1851, what’s required every 6 months is a full service — not just a visual check.
How often do fire extinguishers need to be serviced in Brisbane?
Every 6 months under AS 1851 and the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 (Qld). At the 5-year manufacture date mark, AS 1851 also requires each extinguisher to be pressure tested or replaced — we handle this with swap and go: ABE dry chemical units are replaced with brand-new units, CO2 units are swapped for factory pressure-tested equivalents. We track your schedule and contact you when it’s due.
What happens if an extinguisher has been used or discharged?
We swap it out on the spot — a fully charged replacement unit goes in and the old unit is removed. A discharged extinguisher cannot legally remain in service, so we resolve it during the same visit. No waiting, no off-site trips.
How long does a fire extinguisher service take?
For most Brisbane businesses with 5–10 extinguishers, we’re typically done in under an hour. We work around your business hours — early starts available for hospitality and retail sites that need us before trading hours.
What happens if an extinguisher fails the service?
We’ll tell you on the spot and advise the best fix — whether that’s a swap-out, part replacement, or new installation. In most cases we resolve it during the same visit. If a replacement is needed, we supply and install to AS 1851 standard before we leave.
