Fire Equipment Maintenance - Price Comparisons
The cost of having your Fire Extinguishers serviced on an annual basis in order to keep your business in compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, can range from just plain expensive to jaw droppingly criminal, with some Fire Protection companies using it as a license to print money.
We at FSC (Nationwide) Ltd., put Fire Safety before Profit and don't want our customers to worry about that dreaded final bill.
We have an extensive list of prices quoted by other Fire Protection Companies and have taken the cheapest three, and calculated the average cost of an annual service, based on a customer having 3 x 9 ltr Water and 2 x 2kg CO2 fire extinguishers, serviced over a 5 yr period, incorporating 3 x 5 yearly discharge tests, as per the maintenance code of practice found in BS 5306:3-2009.
The difference in price, was amazing:

In addition to this, there is a dramatic difference in our new equipment costs in comparison to our competitors. On average, our three test cases are charging DOUBLE the amount that FSC (Nationwide) Ltd. do... proving once again that other Fire Protection Companies are more concerned about Profit than the customer's Fire Safety needs.
What we have also noticed, is that some Fire Protection Companies charge for replacing nominal parts, such as Tamper Seals and O' Rings - which can range from £2.50 - £5.00 each, then add this to the service cost (Click here to read our exposé on what you're actually paying for). This is ridiculous, as those parts only cost a couple of pence (maximum) each, for the Fire Protection Company to buy in the first place.
We at FSC (Nationwide) Ltd., include the cost of all Nominal Parts, in the cost of servicing the extinguisher so the customer is not hit with a huge bill. In addition to this, we also carry out any extended service (commonly known as a Discharge Test) on Water Fire Extinguishers at the 5yr mark, at no extra cost.
