Fire Extinguishers

Water fire extinguishers are particularly suitable for putting out material fires (class A fires). So if your business deals with paper, wood or fabrics, this is the extinguisher for you. Our water extinguishers are filled with distilled water, and have capacities of 3,6 or 9 litres.

As the water is dispersed in a fine mist, these extinguishers are superb for protecting you from electric shocks, and massively reduce the risk of the burning material scattering. All Water extinguishers are BSEN3 approved.

Carbon dioxide extinguishers are specifically suited to extinguishing class B fires. That is, any fire started by electrical equipment or by flammable liquid. They come in capacities of 2kg and 5kg. Each of our CO2 extinguishers come with a ten year guarantee, and our experts will undertake a full inspection and service of your extinguishers, and perform any repairs as necessary.

They are effective against electrical fires as they have anti-static horns, meaning that when the CO2 is discharged, it is non-conductive. This allows the person operating the extinguisher to maintain a safe distance and not run the risk of electrocution or electric shock.

The carbon dioxide is discharged in a white cloud which puts out the fire by removing its oxygen. It is completely harmless to any electrical equipment, so is safe for use in offices. All CO2 Extinguishers are BSEN3 approved.

Foam extinguishers are perfect for tackling both class A and class B fires. The foam seals the surface of the lit material, preventing re-ignition. They have passed the 35kv electrical conductivity test, which means that though they are not specifically designed to be used on electrical fires, they will not harm electrical equipment or the operator. Our foam extinguishers are AFFF stored pressure or cartridge operated and come in2,3,6 or 9 litre models. Each of our foam extinguishers come with a 10year guarantee. All foam extinguishers are BSEN3 approved.

Dry powder extinguishers are suited to tackling class A, class B and class C fires. This is because the powder within the extinguisher is a highly versatile material. They are extremely effective on electrical hazards, gases and flammable liquids.

We supply powder extinguishers in ABC and Purple K versions, the sizes available are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9 and 12 Kg. Purple K is particularly suitable for use in situations where it is necessary to have high fire fighting capability. All Powder extinguishers are BSEN3 approved.

Wet chemical extinguishers are specially suited to tackle class F fires. It is the best cooking oil fire extinguisher on the market, and gives you maximum protection against class F fires.

We supply 3, 6, and 9 litre versions, which are capable of tackling fires of up to 75 litres in size. The fine spray these extinguishers produce tackles the flames immediately while the wet chemical reacts with the oil and forms a soap-like film, sealing the surface and cooling it down. All Wet Chemical Extinguishers are BSEN3 approved.

Automatic fire extinguishers are best suited to environments where manual operation is not always possible, or somewhere where immediate extinguishing action needs to take place. That is, somewhere unmanned for considerable periods of time.

These fire extinguishers are suitable for class A fires, class B fires and class C fires, and come in 2kg capacity. When properly used and maintained, they have a lifespan of between five and ten years.
