We can assess your building and recommend the appropriate fire extinguishers for your specific needs.

Compliance with fire safety regulations can be complex, but we can help ensure that your building meets all necessary requirements. We can carry out a fire risk assessment, identify any areas of non-compliance, and provide recommendations for remedial action. We can also provide ongoing support to help ensure that your building remains compliant with fire safety regulations.
How often should I have my fire alarm system tested?
Fire alarm systems should be tested regularly to ensure that they are in good working order and can provide early warning in case of a fire. The frequency of testing depends on various factors such as the type of system and the occupancy of the building. We recommend that fire alarm systems be tested at least twice a year, with additional testing carried out as required by the specific system and regulations.

What should I do if I discover a fire in my building?
If you discover a fire in your building, the most important thing to do is to evacuate the building immediately and call the fire department. If it is safe to do so, you can attempt to extinguish the fire using an appropriate fire extinguisher. However, your safety should always be the top priority, and you should never attempt to fight a fire if you are not properly trained or if it is too dangerous to do so.
