Wet chemical fire extinguishers in Harrogate
Harrogate’s hotels, restaurants and cafés need a wet chemical extinguisher and a fire blanket wherever there is a deep fat fryer, because water on burning oil causes a violent flare-up. We supply, commission and service them, with annual servicing to BS 5306-3.
CO2 fire extinguishers in Harrogate
CO2 extinguishers are the standard choice wherever there is electrical equipment, because they leave no residue. We supply and service CO2 extinguishers for Harrogate offices, shops and plant rooms, and refill or replace them after use. Harrogate is under an hour from our Baildon office along the A658, and we plan visits so you get a fixed price with no surprise travel costs.
