Why You Need Fire Extinguishers On Your Property

Fire extinguishers are your first line of defence against fire. When a small fire breaks out, having the right equipment to hand can:

• Put out or control a fire before it spreads, saving lives and preventing serious injury

• Minimise damage to your building, stock, equipment and personal belongings

• Keep escape routes clear so everyone can leave safely

• Ensure you meet legal requirements and insurance conditions

 

It is not enough just to have extinguishers — they must be the correct type for the risks in your building, installed in the right places, and kept in full working order. Incorrect types or poorly maintained equipment can be useless or even dangerous in an emergency.

​

Who Is Responsible For Fire Safety?

 

Under UK law, the responsibility for fire safety lies with the ‘Responsible Person’. This applies to all non-domestic premises, and to shared areas in rental properties, Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs), flats and business premises.

​

You are the Responsible Person if you are:

​

• The owner, landlord or managing agent of a property

• An employer or business owner

• Someone with control over the building or its maintenance

 

You are legally required to:

​

• Carry out a fire risk assessment

• Provide appropriate fire-fighting equipment, including the correct type and number of fire extinguishers

• Ensure equipment is properly installed, maintained and readily accessible

• Keep records and provide staff/occupants with information and training

 

If you do not meet these duties, you risk unlimited fines, prosecution, invalidated insurance, or even being held liable in the event of an incident.

​

The Law: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

​

This is the main piece of legislation governing fire safety in England and Wales. It replaces older laws and sets out clear duties for the Responsible Person.

​

Key requirements regarding fire extinguishers:

​

• You must provide suitable, sufficient and properly maintained portable fire-fighting equipment

• Equipment must meet recognised British Standards — we supply all units to BS EN3 and install/maintain them in line with BS 5306-8 (the code of practice for selection, installation and servicing)

• Extinguishers must be positioned in obvious, accessible places, clearly marked and easy to reach

• Regular servicing and maintenance by a competent engineer is mandatory — at least once every 12 months, with additional checks and testing over their working life

• Failure to comply with the Fire Safety Order is a serious offence. Our service is designed to take this burden away from you — we make sure you are always fully legal, compliant and safe.

 

Our Fire Extinguisher Services

 

We offer a complete, hassle-free service tailored to your property — whether you are a home owner, landlord, business or organisation.

​

• Supply & Installation

 

We provide the full range of extinguishers to cover every type of fire risk:

 

• Water – for paper, wood and textiles

• Foam – for solid materials and flammable liquids

• CO₂ – ideal for electrical equipment and liquid fires

• Dry Powder – versatile for mixed risks

• Wet Chemical – specifically for cooking oil and fat fires

 

We carry out a free site assessment to determine exactly what you need, then install them in the correct locations, at the right height, with clear signage. All work meets BS 5306 standards.

​

•  Servicing & Maintenance Contracts

 

Extinguishers lose pressure, degrade or become faulty over time — even if they have never been used.

 

Our professional service includes:

​

• Annual maintenance checks as required by law

• Pressure testing, weight checks, safety pin and seal inspection

• Refilling and repairs where needed

• Updating service tags and your official fire safety logbook

• Issuing compliance certificates for insurers and authorities

 

We can service equipment we have supplied, or existing units already on your premises. We offer flexible contracts or one-off visits to suit you.

​

• Disposal & Replacement

 

Old, out-of-date or damaged extinguishers must be disposed of safely and legally — they are classified as hazardous waste. We remove and recycle old units responsibly and supply replacements to the latest standards.

​

• Same-Day Service Available

 

Based right here in Rochdale, we are perfectly placed to serve you quickly. In most cases, we can offer same-day attendance for supply, installation or servicing requests — so you never have to wait long to get compliant and protected.
