Fire servicing & maintenance

Scheduled fire equipment maintenance

Fire safety doesn’t usually fail all at once. It slips.

A missed service here.  An outdated record there. Equipment that hasn’t been checked as often as it should.

Individually, it doesn’t seem like a problem. But over time, those gaps add up – and that’s when compliance issues start to surface.

We provide comprehensive maintenance and testing to ensure your fire safety equipment is ready to perform in an emergency. Routine maintenance is not only a legal requirement under Australian Standards but also a critical step in protecting your staff, customers, and assets. Our team takes the guesswork out of compliance by managing your service schedules and providing detailed documentation for your records.

We understand that every business has different operational needs. Our technicians work efficiently to minimise disruption to your daily activities while conducting thorough inspections of your fire protection systems.

Comprehensive testing and repairs

Our maintenance services cover all essential fire safety measures required to meet Australian Standard AS1851. We provide routine testing, tagging, and any necessary repairs for a wide range of equipment, including:

  • Fire extinguishers and blankets: Annual and six monthly testing and pressure testing.
  • Fire hose reels and hydrants: Flow testing and physical inspections for leaks or damage.
  • Detection and alarm systems: Functional testing of smoke detectors and control panels.
  • Emergency and exit lighting: Discharge testing to ensure backup batteries are operational.
