How Much Does Fire Extinguisher Servicing Cost?

Updated 13 October 2026 · Abbey Fire Safety

Short answer

With Abbey Fire Safety, a yearly service costs £12.50 per extinguisher for 1 to 4, falling to £4.85 each for 100 or more, ex VAT, with no call-out fee and the certificate included. For example, 4 extinguishers cost £50 and 10 cost £80.

The price

  • 1 to 4 extinguishers: £12.50 each
  • 5 to 10 extinguishers: £8.00 each
  • 11 to 20 extinguishers: £7.50 each
  • 21 to 40 extinguishers: £7.00 each
  • 41 to 99 extinguishers: £5.95 each
  • 100 or more extinguishers: £4.85 each

What makes the price go up

Extended services: water, foam and powder extinguishers need a test discharge and refill or replacement at 5 years, and CO2 extinguishers need an overhaul or replacing at 10 years. We always explain and price these before doing them.

Replacing extinguishers that are past their useful life or damaged, and refilling extinguishers that have been used.

What brings it down

The more extinguishers you have, the less each one costs. Keeping to the yearly service means problems are caught early and fewer need replacing. Booking other checks on the same visit saves time and disruption.

Why some companies are cheaper, and some dearer

When comparing quotes, check whether there is a call-out fee, whether labels, parts and the certificate are included, whether extended services or replacements are explained before they happen, and whether the company belongs to a trade body such as the Fire Industry Association. A low headline price is not always the cheapest bill.

Why we charge what we charge

No call-out fee, certificate included, honest repair or replace advice, over 30 years of operational fire safety experience, and staff who are ex or current fire service, police or military.
