Fire extinguishers for Leeds buildings
Leeds combines multi-tenant office blocks, large retail units, student accommodation and industrial estates. Shared buildings like these need clear responsibility for testing and a system that every tenant understands.
For offices we fit water or foam extinguishers on escape routes and CO2 by electrical equipment and server rooms. For factories and workshops we match extinguishers to the specific fire risks on site, including flammable liquids and metals. For schools we equip classrooms, labs, kitchens and workshops and service them outside term time where possible.

Wet chemical fire extinguishers in Leeds
Leeds’ restaurants, bars and takeaways 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 Leeds
CO2 extinguishers are the standard choice wherever there is electrical equipment, because they leave no residue. We supply and service CO2 extinguishers for Leeds offices, shops and plant rooms, and refill or replace them after use. Leeds is around 30 minutes from our Baildon office, and we plan visits so you get a fixed price with no surprise travel costs.
