Do I need Fire Extinguishers?

If you have premises used for business or social purposes, vehicles such as

transport, heavy construction machinery, marine or service vehicles, or if you work

on a large construction site it is likely that you will need some sort of fire

extinguishing equipment installed.

​

How many do I need and what type?

The quantity of extinguishers you need will be dependent on a number of different

factors including the nature of your business, the size of your premises and the

number of risks that are present in that area. 
The type of extinguisher will depend mainly on the risks prevalent in your premises

however and should be determined in conjunction with a current fire risk assessment

however out technicians can advise you if there is any doubt.

Why do I need to service my extinguishers each year,

they haven't been used?

As a vital item of life safety equipment, maintenance of fire extinguishers is not only a legal

requirement, it is essential to ensure your fire extinguisher will work effectively if required. 

​

Water Extinguishers - (Class A fires)

Ideal for fires involving wood, paper, fabrics and other similar types of free-burning

materials. This high quality extinguisher is British Standard approved and gives

an impressive fire-fighting performance.

​

CO2 Extinguishers - (Class B fires) 

Suitable for use on flammable liquids and electrical fires, both models contain

a non-toxic, clean gas. When used they leave little residue and so are ideal for

offices and workshops because damage to equipment is kept to a minimum.

​

Foam Extinguishers (Class A and B fires)

Ideal for multi-risk situations. Free-burning materials such as wood and paper as

well as flammable liquids can be tackled very effectively.

​

Powder Extinguishers (Class A, B and C fires) 

Powder extinguishers are extremely versatile; suitable for use on free-burning materials,
flammable liquids and flammable gases. Because of the non-conductivity of dry powder
they are also ideal for electrical fires. They are not generally suitable for use indoors

unless a specific risk assessment has been carried out to mitigate their use.

​

Wet Chemical Extinguishers - (Class F fires)

An extremely effective extinguisher designed specifically for fires involving cooking oils
and fats. The chemical knocks out the flames, cools the burning oil and seals the surface
preventing re-ignition. The extinguisher is easy to use, producing a gentle but highly

effective spray which helps prevent hot oil splashing on the user.
 

Chrome / Stainless Steel 

In situations where interior design and/or hygiene are important considerations this range is an

ideal solution. The highly polished surface keeps any interior looking modern without

compromising safety and can be regularly cleaned as the metal does not corrode.

​
