Servicing the equipment already in place
Define the areas and extinguishers included in the proposed work. Existing equipment lists and service records can help distinguish a site-wide maintenance requirement from attention needed at a particular location.
Useful details include:
- The number and locations of units, if known.
- The extinguisher types recorded in existing equipment information.
- The last service date and relevant maintenance findings.
- The areas where access needs to be arranged.
Replacement and changed premises use
Explain whether the requirement concerns a missing unit, visible damage or a replacement identified in an existing report. Describe what you already know, including any replacement requirement recorded in the report.
If the premises have changed, identify the affected activity or building area. Mention any assessment findings or equipment specification associated with that change.
Equipment and staff arrangements
The government’s workplace equipment guidance (gov.uk) covers proper installation, testing and maintenance of firefighting equipment, alongside appropriate staff training. Identify any training requirement separately from equipment servicing.
For planned work, include access arrangements and the timing needed around normal use of the premises.
