AS 1851 testing & tagging · Perth metro
Warden Fire Services tests, tags and logs your extinguishers, blankets, hose reels and exit lights every six months from our Bibra Lake base — and reminds you before each visit is due, so the auditor never finds a lapsed tag.

The Compliance Dial
Pick your site, set what's on the wall — the dial plans the two tagged visits and the ledger prices them.
Illustrative year, today marked mid-May — January visit tagged OK, July flagged next.
Minimum 1 — every occupied site needs at least one extinguisher.
Not in this total, when due: 5-yearly extinguisher pressure test & refill — $66 per unit (× 2 on this site). We flag the due year on each tag and quote it the visit before.
What we service
Every price below is the metro rate — the same arithmetic the dial above runs. No callout surprises, no per-tag fine print.

90-minute discharge test per fitting, six-monthly, with failed batteries and lamps quoted on the spot before we leave.
$9 per fitting, per visit
Every extinguisher needs a hydrostatic pressure test and refill five years from manufacture. We track the due year on the tag — you'll never guess.
$66 per unit, when due
4.5 kg ABE dry-chemical, supplied, installed on a new bracket, signed and tagged — when a unit fails test or walks off the wall.
$135 supplied & installed
A complete AS 1851 logbook, an asset register per site, and a reminder before every due date. Included with every servicing schedule — deliberately.
Included · $0 with servicing
Fire indicator panels and pump sets sit under their own sections of AS 1851 with their own test regimes — we inspect first, then price the system.

Demonstration reviews
★★★★★
"The food-licence inspector turned every extinguisher over looking for a lapsed tag and found January's, current, on all four. Warden had been out three weeks earlier — because they rang us, not the other way round."
★★★★★
"Twelve years of strata records and we'd never had one complete logbook for the common areas. First Warden visit: every asset registered, tagged and photographed. The AGM took ten minutes off my agenda."
★★★★★
"Our insurer's auditor gave two weeks' notice. Warden's reminder had already booked our six-monthly for the week before — the hose reels were flow-tested and the paperwork sat waiting in the logbook."
Service area
Scheduled runs cover Joondalup to Rockingham on the $150 metro visit rate. The southern industrial corridor — Bibra Lake, O'Connor, Cockburn, Canning Vale — sees us weekly.
Questions we get on the phone
Six-monthly, under AS 1851 — that covers portable extinguishers, fire blankets, hose reels and emergency & exit lighting. Extinguishers additionally need a hydrostatic pressure test and refill every five years from the date stamped on the cylinder. Two scheduled visits a year keeps a typical small site fully inside the standard.
Honestly: usually nothing, until something checks. A lapsed tag is what food-licence inspectors, insurers' auditors and DFES-referred inspections look for first, and an insurer can lean on it after a claim. We don't do scare campaigns — we do reminders, so the question never comes up.
If there's ever an actual fire or emergency, call 000 — always, before anything else.
Each extinguisher is weighed, inspected, checked for pressure and damage, and tagged with the date and the tester. Blankets are unfolded and inspected, hose reels are flow-tested at the nozzle, and each emergency light gets a 90-minute battery discharge test. Everything is written into your logbook before we leave — that's the document an auditor asks for.
Both, whichever is honest for the unit. A cylinder inside its 5-year window that fails a minor check is usually serviceable; one due its pressure test costs $66 to test and refill, and a new 4.5 kg ABE supplied and installed is $135 — so if a test-due unit is also aged or corroded, we'll tell you replacement is the cheaper decade.
You do — and so do we. The AS 1851 logbook stays on your site (auditors expect it there), and we hold a mirror in your asset register with photos, test dates and the next due date per asset. The reminder you get before each visit comes from that register. It's included with servicing, at $0, because it's the part that makes the rest work.

Rough counts are fine; we confirm the register on the first visit. Your dial settings above are already filled in below.
We'd come back to you within one business day with a servicing plan, the year's two visit windows, and a firm price — the same arithmetic as the dial.
