How we can help

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS EXPLAINED:

There are five classes of fire (A, B, C, D and F) depending on the materials which have been set alight.

The fire extinguishers fitted within your building will be specific to the class of fire it’s required to tackle. There are five common types: foam, water, carbon dioxide (CO2), powder, and wet chemical.

Your business will require a minimum number of extinguishers, however the standard legal requirement is two per floor with a combined rating of at least 26A, unless the upper floor area is very small (i.e. below 100m²) and in single occupancy (in which case only a minimum rating of 13A is required on the upper floor).

It’s not only important to make sure you’ve got the correct number and type of fire extinguishers, but that they are strategically located for use in the event of a fire. They must be visible and easily accessible, but not in an area where they may be knocked or become an obstruction. One of our experts will be able to look at your building and know what you need and where.
