Race Fire Extinguisher Servicing Berkshire

[flam]

Anyone know anywhere near Reading that services & certifies race fire extinguishers ?

I think Merlin at Castle Combe are probably your nearest but look on the Lifeline website - they have a list of service agents.

Thanks for the replies. Yes unit is made by lifeline. Merlin at Castle Combe & Race Parts in Wallingford are closest to me, will give them a call

make sure you double check the regs regarding fire ex. There is no expiry date any more and unless yours is fully discharged then it wont need a service. Equally is raceparts tell you that your extinguisher is out of date, they are wrong, you can't have an out of date extinguisher only an empty one.

clearly if it looks knackered that's a different matter, but the two year rule doesn't apply any more. in short check the blue book.

Unless you have an advanced electronic one, the cost of srrvice is about the same as a new one.

I use these chaps to service my extinguishers
nice people to deal with and very good prices for motorsport bottles.

Raceparts in Wallingford are a lifeline agent and can service them while you wait most the time

far more important than getting the fire ex serviced is checking the lines are not blocked.

they fill up with dust and as soon s you pull it the nozzles block. I always blow mine out with an air line a couple of times a year you will be amazed at how much comes out..
