Gold Coast 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 Gold Coast technician does 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 — Barry will be in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does fire extinguisher servicing include?
A full AS 1851 on-site service includes: pressure gauge check, safety pin and seal inspection, hose and nozzle condition assessment, mounting and location check, tagging with service date and technician ID, and a compliance report issued within 24 hours. If any extinguisher fails or has been discharged, we swap it out on the spot — a fully charged replacement unit in, old unit removed. Parts replacement (seals, O-rings, hoses) is carried out as required.
How often do fire extinguishers need to be serviced on the Gold Coast?
Every 6 months under AS 1851 and the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 (Qld). This applies to all Gold Coast commercial premises — from Surfers Paradise hotels and Broadbeach restaurants to Robina offices and Coomera industrial sites. 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.
Do you recharge extinguishers on-site?
We don’t recharge on-site. 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. This is faster, cleaner, and avoids leaving a substandard unit in service. At the 5-year mark, the same swap-and-go process applies.
How long does a fire extinguisher service take on the Gold Coast?
For most Gold Coast businesses with 5–10 extinguishers, we’re typically done in under an hour. We work around your operating hours — early morning slots available for hospitality and tourism venues that need us before service starts.
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.

Yes — we service all Gold Coast suburbs including Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Bundall, Southport, Labrador, Biggera Waters, Runaway Bay, Helensvale, Hope Island, Robina, Varsity Lakes, Mermaid Beach, Mermaid Waters, Burleigh Heads, Burleigh Waters, Palm Beach, Tugun, Coolangatta, Nerang, Mudgeeraba, Coomera, Ormeau, and surrounding areas including Tweed Heads NSW.
