Serving all of your fire protection needs
Usually the first line of defence, you really want your fire extinguishers to be in top working order should you have to use them.
Maintenance is obviously the best way of keeping them in good condition. And it is also a legal requirement.
We pride ourselves on offering a quality service to each customer, so we therefore do not ask our customers to sign binding contracts. Our employees are not paid on a commission basis unlike our competitors; therefore this will ensure each job is done correctly without having to generate additional work/revenue to meet targets/supplement the engineers income.
The main advantage of plan 2 above is that it allows you to much more accurately budget for your annual service.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 which applies to virtually all premises other than dwellings, requires that, where necessary in order to safeguard everyone who is lawfully on, or in the immediate vicinity of, the premises, the premises must be equipped with appropriate fire-fighting equipment.
This requirement is supplemented by a requirement to take measures for fire-fighting, adapted to the nature of the activities carried on, the size of the undertaking and of the premises concerned. The necessity of fire-fighting equipment under the Order may arise from the features of the premises, the activity carried on in the premises, the fire hazards or any other relevant circumstances.
Establishment of the need for fire-fighting equipment arises from a fire risk assessment and it is likely to be extremely rare for any fire risk assessment to determine that the provision of such equipment is not necessary.
Below is a chart depicting the correct extinguisher that should be used on each type of fire;
Foam Spray extinguishers provide a fast, powerful means of tackling class 'A' and 'B' fires.
Highly effective against petrol and volatile liquids, forming a flame smothering seal over the surface and also preventing re-ignition, they are ideal for multi-risk usage.
Dry powder is a highly versatile Class 'A', 'B' and 'C' fire-fighting medium for most fire risks. In addition to dealing with electrical hazards, flammable liquids and gases, this extensive range of dry powder extinguishers is also effective on vehicle fires.
Both of the CO2 models have non-conductive, anti-static horns and are suitable for situations involving flammable liquids and electrical hazards. CO2 is harmless to delicate equipment and materials. Ideal for modern office environments, all electrical risks and where oils, spirits, solvents and waxes are in use.
Water Extinguishers are still one of the most useful of all available fire extinguishants, and these water extinguishers offer excellent fire suppression for attacking freely burning materials such as paper, cloth and wood.

If your equipment and exits are clearly signposted, it means that your business and staff are better protected from any disasters that should strike.

Please give us a call for more information. We'll be happy to talk through our range of signs so that you can find exactly what you're after.
The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 came into force on April 1 1996, and relate to the use of fire safety signage in the workplace.

The fire safety signage Regulations state that:
