Automatic fire extinguisher service

[Dorset Dan]

I have the Fireboy-Xintex automatic extinguisher in my engine bay and know that in my insurance cover requirements I need to keep this serviced - anyone know a company to service these in Dorset?

I have googled it but it seems to come up with only commercial fire extinguisher servicing rather than marine or boat specific.

Just take it to any fire extinguisher company. There's nothing special about them.

Ok, many thanks

I used these people http://www.chalisfire.co.uk/
No connection just received good service at a good price

Thanks, and it turns out they are based 50 yards away from where my mechanic is based so sounds like a plan to use them.

I've got a couple of SeaFire units that I need sorting as they were on a new to me boat and I'd like to know they've been "looked at".

just check its not gone out of date - from memory its 10 years( look at the website for Fireboy) and then need to replace. Just did mine.

Can thoroughly recommended Sea-Fire in Portsmouth for servicing requirements, which they carried out on my Sea-Fire system on my previous boat:-
