We offer an optional nationwide (mainland UK) installation service, which includes extinguisher hanging, inspection, labelling and certification by our BAFE approved fire extinguisher engineers. Alternatively, customers can choose to install the extinguishers themselves but we strongly recommend that you carry out a careful visual inspection once you have received the extinguisher to ensure that there has been no transport damage, that the safety pin moves freely, that the pressure gauge needle (where applicable) is in the green and that you have received the correct extinguisher. Even though we inspect our extinguishers prior to shipment and are protecting them very carefully against transport damage, we will not issue pre-shipping inspection certificates, as extinguishers can be damaged in transit. The practice of issuing pre-shipping inspection certificates can be dangerous as it can make the customer believe that the extinguishers do not require a visual inspection by the customer on receipt of the extinguishers.
We also offer to come out to you, after you have hung the extinguishers yourself, to carry out an inspection of the extinguishers and to apply extinguisher servicing labels. This process is called commissioning and can be ordered online when you are choosing fire extinguishers. Commissioning is cheaper than our full fire extinguisher installation service. We also offer to remove old extinguisher for responsible recycling. There is a charge per extinguisher to cover this optional service.
If you are a business you usually need to have the extinguishers serviced for the first time after 12 months and yearly thereafter (unless you install the service-free P50 fire extinguisher series). We offer extinguisher servicing nationwide on mainland UK.
Customers living in remote areas should note that some servicing/installation services may be affected, or not available. We will inform you as soon as possible of any potential problems. If you want to check before placing an order, please call us on 0800 6126537.
Installations of fire extinguishers are carried out within 14 days. Commissioning of fire extinguishers is carried out within 28 days. Servicing of fire extinguishers is carried out within 30 days
