Wet chemical fire extinguishers in Wakefield
Wakefield’s restaurants, pubs 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 Wakefield
CO2 extinguishers are the standard choice wherever there is electrical equipment, because they leave no residue. We supply and service CO2 extinguishers for Wakefield offices, shops and plant rooms, and refill or replace them after use. Wakefield is around 40 minutes from our Baildon office, and we plan visits so you get a fixed price with no surprise travel costs.
