The same five steps apply to every item. You always see the defects and a quote before anything is replaced, and every due date goes in your record, so nothing is missed. See our guide to AS 1851 from 13 February 2026 for what NSW owners must keep.1

The annual fire safety statement

The owner gives the annual fire safety statement to council and Fire and Rescue NSW, and it rests on an accredited practitioner assessing each measure. We arrange the practitioner and supply our records for the equipment we look after. Read the guides to annual fire safety statements and lodging with your council.1

Frequently asked questions

What fire equipment do you service?

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

Do you arrange 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. The owner signs and lodges the statement.

Have alarms, sprinklers, hydrants or pumps too?

Tell us what your building has and we will get back to you.

How do you price a service?

We price after looking at what is on site: the number of extinguishers, reels, blankets, lights and doors, and where they are. Send us your address or equipment list for a quote.

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.

Do you provide records for my insurer or strata manager?

Every visit produces a dated report by location and an entry in your AS 1851 logbook, which you can share with your strata manager or broker.
