You must ensure that firefighting appliances are covered by a suitable system of maintenance and are maintained by a competent person in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.
This process is documented in BS 5306 – 3:2009 Commissioning & maintenance of portable fire extinguishers and BS 5306 – 9:2015 Recharging of portable fire extinguishers.
Our engineers are qualified to provide advice on the suitability, positioning of portable extinguishers and carry out annual maintenance requirement. Our engineers hold BAFE (British Approvals for Fire Equipment) certificates to provide our customers with the proof they are competent.
Class A | Fires that involve solid or organic materials, such as wood, plastics, paper, textiles, or coal.
Class B – Fires that involve flammable liquids, such as gasoline, petroleum oil, paint, or diesel.
Class C – Fires that involve flammable gases, such as propane, butane, or methane.
Class D – Fires that involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, lithium, sodium, potassium, titanium, or aluminium.
Class F – Fires that involve cooking oils and fats, such as vegetable oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, maize oil, lard, or butter (typically those used for deep-fat fryers).
Although it is not recognised as a separate class of fire in Europe, electrical fires that involve live equipment and electrical sources are also a consideration.

Extinguishing fires
Water Extinguishers are suitable for use on solid material such as: wood, paper, textiles etc. Used correctly Water is very effective at cooling the fuel surface.
- Approved to BSEN3
- Kitemark, LPCB and MED approved
- Squeeze Grip Operation
- Corrosion Resistant Finish
- Internal Polyethylene Lining
- 6ltr has passed the 35kv conductivity discharge test
Water Extinguishers with Additive are lighter are more effective than conventional water types, and are suitable for use on solid material such as: wood, paper, textiles etc. Used correctly Water is very effective at cooling the fuel surface.
- Approved to BSEN3
- Kitemark, LPCB and MED approved
- Special Additive gives improved fire ratings
- Squeeze Grip Operation
- Corrosion Resistant Finish
- Internal Polyethylene Lining
- Passed the 35kv conductivity discharge test
Foam Spray Extinguishers Ideal where both A & B class fire risks exist. AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) is particularly suited to class B fires caused by the combustion of materials that liquefy such as petrol, oils, fats, paints, etc. Used correctly Foam is very effective, the foam seals the fire from its oxygen supply, and cools.
- Approved to BSEN3
- Kitemark, LPCB and MED approved
- Spray Nozzle
- Squeeze Grip Operation
- Corrosion Resistant Finish
- Internal Polyethylene Lining
- Passed the 35kv conductivity discharge test
CO2 extinguishers are suitable for fire risks involving flammable liquids and for electrical hazards. CO2 is harmless to electrical equipment and is ideal for modern offices, electronic risks and for the protection of electrical installations. Used correctly CO2 works by suffocating the fire, displacing the oxygen in the air.
- Approved to BSEN3
- Kitemark, LPCB and MED approved
- Squeeze Grip Operation
- Corrosion Resistant Finish
- Aluminium alloy construction
Wet Chemical Extinguishers are for use on fire risks involving cooking oils and fats. Used correctly Wet Chemical extinguishers create a layer of foam on the surface of the burning oil or fat, preventing oxygen from fuelling the fire any further. The spray also has a cooling effect.
- Approved to BSEN3
- Kitemark, LPCB and MED approved
- Long Lance Applicator which enables discharge from a safer distance.
- Squeeze Grip Operation
- Corrosion Resistant Finish
- Internal Polyethylene Lining
- Passed the 35kv conductivity discharge test
- High Fire Ratings 6 Litre has 21A 113B 75F, 3 Litre with 13A, 70B, 40F
Dry powder Extinguishers are suitable for mixed risk fire environments and especially suitable for flammable liquids and fires involving flammable gases such as propane, methane, hydrogen, natural gas etc. Used correctly Dry powder extinguishers smother fires by forming a barrier between the fuel and the source of oxygen.
- Approved to BSEN3
- Kitemark, LPCB and MED approved
- Multi-Purpose Application
- Squeeze Grip Operation
- Corrosion Resistant Finish
Specialist Dry Powder L2 is designed for fire risks involving sodium, magnesium, aluminium, etc and is also effective on fire that involve Lithium. These types of extinguishers are equipped with a special low velocity applicator to ensure the powder is applied gently and efficiently without risk of the discharge pressure spreading or splashing the burning metal.
Used correctly these extinguishers extinguish metal fires by fusing the powder to form a crust, which excludes oxygen from the surface of the burning metal.
