However, to be effective, any extinguisher must be accessible and of a type that’s suited to its environment. For advice on choosing the most appropriate type of fire extinguisher for different environments, please contact our customer support team today.

Our technical team can help you choose the right quantity and type of extinguishers, as well as advise you on issues such as placement and maintenance. Moreover, because we regularly buy from the leading manufacturers, you can use our purchasing power to make significant cost savings.

Please note that because effective safeguarding relies upon the use of high-quality products, we only ever use EN3, Kitemarked compliant extinguishers.

Quite apart from being a legal requirement in many buildings, fire extinguishers are an invaluable first line of defence in the event of fire. Used early, they can prevent fires from taking hold in the first place, thereby obviating the risks of more extensive and costly damage. They can also make a life-changing difference in situations in which fire exits may already be blocked by fire.
