Types of Extinguisher We Maintain & Service
We service all fire extinguishers and suppression systems – whoever supplied them. Every extinguisher gets inspected, tested, and certified to British Standards.
Fire Suppression Systems
Kitchen suppression, server room systems, and industrial applications. We service all major brands. Annual inspections keep these critical systems ready to protect high-risk areas automatically.
Water Extinguishers
The workhorses for general fires involving wood, paper, and textiles. We check pressure, test discharge mechanisms, and verify anti-freeze additives in cold locations. Simple but essential protection.
Foam Extinguishers
Versatile units for liquid fires and general materials. We inspect foam concentrate, check discharge rates, and ensure proper mixing. Popular in offices and warehouses for their broad coverage.
Dry Powder
Multi-purpose extinguishers for various fire types. We fluidise powder to prevent settling, check pressure gauges, and test discharge. Essential for sites with mixed fire risks.
CO2
Clean agent extinguishers for electrical fires. We weigh cylinders to verify contents, check horn attachments, and test safety devices. Perfect for server rooms and electrical areas where residue matters.
Wet Chemical
Specialist extinguishers for commercial kitchens. We check chemical condition, verify spray patterns, and test activation. The only effective option for deep fat fryer fires.

FAQs
Quick answers to common questions about fire extinguisher and suppression system maintenance.
What types of fire extinguishers do you service?
All types – water, foam, powder, CO2, wet chemical, and specialist extinguishers. We’re trained on all major brands and maintain everything to BS 5306 standards. We also service fire blankets, hose reels, and automatic suppression systems.
Do you offer fire extinguisher installation services?
Yes. We supply and install new extinguishers, positioning them correctly for your risks and escape routes. We’ll assess your needs, recommend the right types and quantities, install everything properly, and train your staff in their use.
How often should fire extinguishers be inspected and serviced?
Annual basic service as a minimum – it’s a legal requirement. Some extinguishers need extended service every five years and discharge testing every ten years. CO2 extinguishers need ten-year overhauls. We track all these dates and schedule automatically.
Are your fire extinguishers compliant with current regulations?
Yes. All equipment we supply meets BS EN3 standards and carries CE and UKCA marking. Our servicing follows BS 5306 guidelines. Everything’s documented properly for insurance and regulatory compliance. We keep you legal.
What should I do if my fire extinguisher has been used?
Contact us immediately. Even partial discharge requires professional recharge or replacement. We’ll respond quickly, recharge if possible, or replace if necessary. Never put a used extinguisher back on the wall – it might not work next time.
How do I know which type of fire extinguisher I need?
It depends on your fire risks. We review your premises, identify potential fire types, and recommend extinguishers. Most businesses need water or foam for general risks, CO2 for electricals, and wet chemical for kitchens.
