Fire Extinguisher Supply and Installation

When we supply your fire extinguishers, we’ll provide a commissioning service.
New fire extinguishers in commercial buildings need an initial on-site inspection – commissioning – to check they have not been damaged in transit and bear Kitemark and CE symbols to prove they meet British Standard requirements.

The next consideration is that for a fire extinguisher to stop a fire in its tracks, it needs to be the right type of extinguisher in the right place.

  • We’ll install the fire extinguishers best suited for your business premises:
  • Water extinguishers – for fires started by combustible materials like paper or wood.
  • Foam extinguishers – for combustible materials or flammable liquids such as petrol and paint.
  • Dry powder extinguishers – for combustible materials, flammable liquids, flammable gases, flammable metals, and electrical equipment.
  • CO2 extinguishers – for fires started by flammable liquids or originating in electrical equipment.
  • Wet chemical extinguishers – for combustible materials and deep fat fryers like chip pans.

We can carry out a fire risk assessment to identify key points to place extinguishers for optimum effectiveness.

Fire Extinguisher Testing and Servicing

Testing and servicing of fire extinguishers is critical to guarantee they work when needed. British Standards, which provides advice on fire safety, calls for professional annual maintenance of fire safety equipment such as extinguishers.

Our fire extinguisher testing and servicing includes:

  • Examination of every part of the extinguisher – including valves, gauges and operating mechanism – for damage or wear.
  • Checking for external or internal corrosion.
  • Ensuring the extinguisher is the appropriate weight.

If necessary, we’ll carry out repairs in accordance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and British Standard guidelines, or supply a replacement.

When your fire extinguishers are in good working order, we’ll issue a Certificate of Inspection, a legal document verifying you’re complying with fire safety regulations

Bear in mind that after servicing, you’ll need to carry out monthly basic checks yourself. Remember, too, that fire extinguishers aren’t designed to last a lifetime, and require periodic replacement to ensure ongoing protection in the event of a fire.
