Standards shown are the main reference for each measure. Have alarms, sprinklers, hydrants or pumps as well? Tell us what your building has.

Your annual fire safety statement

The owner carries the legal duty. We service and record the equipment in our scope, and arrange the accredited practitioner the statement needs.

  1. Tell us about the building

    Send your last service report or statement, or just the address. We work out what is on site.

  2. We inspect and test on site

    We test the extinguishers, hose reels, emergency lighting and fire doors, and record what passes and what does not.

  3. You approve the quote first

    Nothing is repaired until you have approved it. You see every defect with its price.

  4. Statement arranged and logged

    We arrange an accredited practitioner to verify each measure on site for the owner's statement, then store the paperwork in your online record.

Quote-before-repairs, reminders and arranging the annual statement are proposed service commitments for this concept. Confirm before launch.

Common questions

What do you service?

We inspect, test and service fire extinguishers, fire blankets, hose reels, emergency and exit lighting and fire and smoke doors, and we keep a record of every visit.

What about fire alarms, sprinklers, hydrants and pumps?

Our own servicing focuses on the equipment above. If your building also has alarms, sprinklers, hydrants or pumps, tell us what it has and we will get back to you.

What is an annual fire safety statement?

A document the building owner gives council and Fire and Rescue NSW each year. It is based on an accredited practitioner assessing each fire safety measure listed in the building's fire safety schedule.

Do you provide the annual fire safety statement?

We arrange it. The statement depends on an accredited practitioner assessing each measure on site, so we coordinate that practitioner and supply our service records for the equipment we look after.

Who is responsible for getting it done?

The owner. In a strata building that is the owners corporation, usually working through the strata manager. We can deal with the manager directly.

How close to the due date can the inspections be?

Inspections must fall within the three months before the statement is issued, so we book the visit around your due date, not the other way round.

How much does servicing cost?

It depends on what is on site: how many extinguishers, hose reels, emergency lights and fire doors there are, and their condition. We price after looking at your equipment list and last service report, so the quote is for your building, not an average.

What happens if the statement is late?

Failing to lodge on time is an offence, and councils can charge late fees. We send a reminder well before each due date and keep a record of every visit.

What is AS 1851 and does it apply to me?

AS 1851 is the standard for routine servicing of fire protection systems. In NSW it is mandatory from 13 February 2026 for class 1b and class 2 to 9 buildings, and the duty sits with the owner.

How often do fire extinguishers need servicing?

Under AS 1851, extinguishers are checked and tagged every six months, with pressure tests and recharges as they fall due.

Which areas do you cover?

Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama, Southern Sydney, Campbelltown and Macarthur, Wollondilly, the Southern Highlands, and Nowra and the South Coast. Tell us your suburb and we will confirm.
