The right system for your building, fitted and looked after properly.

The right extinguisher depends on what could catch fire. We look at the risks in your building and supply extinguishers that match them, positioned where people can reach them quickly.

We service all types of extinguisher, refill and recharge them after use, and replace units that are past their life or have been damaged. We also supply fire blankets, signs and stands.

We can show your staff how to choose and use an extinguisher safely, which is often what a fire risk assessment asks for.
