The right extinguisher in the right place, signed off by an engineer who actually understands what your premises need, and serviced every year on the date we promised.
Selection, supply, commissioning, annual servicing, extended servicing and replacement of portable fire extinguishers under BS 5306-3 and BS 5306-8.
Any premises with a workforce, public access or hazardous processes, offices, retail, hospitality, light industrial, commercial kitchens and HMO common parts.
On a fit-out, after a fire risk assessment, at change of tenancy, at annual service date, and at the 5-year extended-service and 10-year overhaul / replacement intervals.
The right extinguisher used in the first 30 seconds prevents most workplace fires from reaching alarm-activation point. The wrong one, or an empty one, makes the fire worse.
After an incident, the insurance loss-adjuster's first question is which extinguisher, where, and last serviced when. Three numbers, and they are either on the certificate or they are not.
Walk every floor, identify hazards (Class A, B, C, D, F, electrical), confirm correct media and number to BS 5306-8.
BAFE-registered extinguishers supplied, wall-mounted at the correct height, ID signage fitted, BS 5306 commissioning certificate issued.
Visual inspection, weight check, gauge verification, hose and horn condition, anti-tamper seal renewal, service label dated and signed.
Discharge test and full overhaul for water, foam and powder; CO2 hydrostatic testing at 10 years.
End-of-life cylinders removed and disposed of legally under hazardous waste rules, paper trail provided.
Specified to BS 5306-8, not 'one red one and a CO2 in the corner'.
CO2 and powder weights recorded at every service, not just visual.
Where we service your fire alarm, extinguishers go on the same visit, one engineer, one disruption window.
BS 5306 commissioning certificates that an insurer can verify in 10 seconds.
We tell you when replacing is cheaper than overhauling, and quote both so you can decide.

Choosing and maintaining portable extinguishers is governed by BS 5306-8 (selection and installation) and BS 5306-3 (commissioning and servicing). The notes below set out how we apply both.
Class A (paper, wood, textile), water or foam. Class B (flammable liquids), foam or powder. Class C (gases), powder. Class D (metals), specialist powder. Class F (cooking oils), wet chemical. Electrical risks, CO2 or dielectrically-tested water mist. We fit the medium your hazards actually need.
BS 5306-8 sets maximum travel distances of 30m for Class A and 10m for Class B. We map your floors and place extinguishers accordingly, not at convenient wall hooks.
Wet chemical extinguishers (Class F) are mandatory in any kitchen with a deep-fat fryer. They smother burning oil safely; powder and CO2 do not and will scatter the burn.
P50 composite extinguishers carry a 10-year service-free guarantee with annual visual inspection only, useful for portfolios with high service-visit overhead. We quote conventional and P50 side-by-side so you can compare 10-year cost.
We service van-mounted, plant and industrial extinguishers including those subject to PSSR 2000 hydrostatic testing.
Photoluminescent ID signs above every extinguisher and floor stands where wall-mounting is impractical. Compliance for refurb projects without drilling tiled walls.
