Fire extinguishers for Bradford buildings
Many Bradford buildings are former mills and warehouses now used as offices, flats and workshops. Older structures like these often need systems designed around thick walls, open floors and changes of use.
For offices we fit water or foam extinguishers on escape routes and CO2 by electrical equipment and server rooms. In historic buildings we choose extinguisher types that put out a fire with as little damage as possible. For schools we equip classrooms, labs, kitchens and workshops and service them outside term time where possible.

Wet chemical fire extinguishers in Bradford
Bradford has hundreds of restaurants, takeaways and commercial kitchens. Deep fat fryers need a wet chemical extinguisher, because water on burning oil causes a violent flare-up. We supply, commission and service wet chemical extinguishers and fire blankets for kitchens across Bradford, with annual servicing to BS 5306-3.
CO2 fire extinguishers in Bradford
CO2 extinguishers are the standard choice wherever there is electrical equipment, such as offices, server rooms and control panels, because they leave no residue. We supply and service CO2 extinguishers for Bradford businesses, and replace or refill them after use or when they reach their test date.
