We've all seen them – those bright red cylinders hanging on walls in offices, shops, and public spaces. But have you ever really thought about why they're there, or more importantly, if your premises has the right ones?

We're happy to announce that we're expanding our fire safety services to now include the supply, installation, and maintenance of high-quality fire extinguishers!

More Than Just a Red Can: What Are Fire Extinguishers For?

A fire extinguisher isn't just a prop; it's your first line of defence against a small fire, potentially preventing it from becoming a catastrophic blaze. Different types of fires (like those involving paper, liquids, or electrical equipment) require different types of extinguishers. Using the wrong one can be ineffective or even dangerous!

That's why our service isn't just about selling you a few extinguishers. It's about providing:

• Expert Advice: Helping you understand which types of extinguishers are right for the specific risks in your building.

• Correct Placement: Ensuring they are strategically located, easily accessible, and compliant with safety regulations.

• Professional Installation: Securely mounting them according to British Standards.

• Reliable Maintenance: Regular servicing to ensure they're always in perfect working order, ready when you need them most.

Why Are Fire Extinguishers Absolutely Essential?

1. Your First Response: In the crucial first few minutes of a fire, a correctly used extinguisher can put out a small fire immediately, saving lives and preventing extensive damage.

2. Legal Compliance is Key: Just like Fire Risk Assessments, having the correct number and type of fire extinguishers, properly installed and maintained, is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO). Ignorance isn't bliss when it comes to fire safety!

3. Protect People & Property: A fast response with an extinguisher can limit the spread of fire, giving people more time to evacuate safely and preserving your building and its contents.

4. Peace of Mind: Knowing you have the right equipment on hand, and that it's regularly checked by professionals, offers immense reassurance for you, your staff, and your visitors.

5. Insurance Requirements: Many insurance policies stipulate that appropriate fire suppression equipment must be in place and regularly serviced.
