Fire Extinguisher
Servicing in Barrow-in-Furness

The right type of extinguisher, in the right place, in working order. We supply, service and maintain fire extinguishers for businesses and premises across Barrow-in-Furness and Cumbria.

Annual fire extinguisher servicing

Most business premises need their extinguishers serviced once a year by a competent person, in line with the British Standard for extinguisher maintenance (BS 5306-3). Between visits, the person responsible for the building should do simple monthly checks: is each extinguisher in place, undamaged, and is the pressure gauge in the green where one is fitted? We can book your annual service in so it is not missed.

The right Extinguisher for the risk

Water and foam

For fires involving paper, wood and fabric.

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

For fires involving electrical equipment.

Wet chemical

For commercial kitchens with deep fat fryers.

Powder

For specific risks, with limits on use indoors.

Your fire risk assessment should say what you need. If you are not sure, we can look at your premises and recommend the right types, how many, and where they should go, then supply and fit them with the correct signs.

Replacing old or used Extinguishers
