Fire Extinguisher Supply and Servicing

In many cases, the fire extinguishers on site are the first line of defence in the event of a fire.

Fire extinguishers are a vital element of the health and safety of people in and around a building. They need to work every time, without fail. Using a professional installation and maintenance team is key in making an area as safe as possible, and is also a legal requirement. As an organisation, you have a duty of care to ensure a competent contractor is used to install and maintain all fire extinguishers. At Walker Fire we are industry experts in Fire Extinguisher Supply and Servicing. We are 3rd party approved and are continually audited to ensure we work to the highest standards.

Our fire extinguisher installation service includes the following:

• Initial visit to assess requirements.
• Supply of reputable extinguisher brands with easy access to spare parts and future refills.
• Commissioning service at point of use by a BAFE approved engineer, conforming to British Standards 5306 Pt3.
• Professional overview and placement of extinguishers, conforming to BS 5306 Pt8.
• Wall mount at correct height and position, conforming to BS 5306 Pt8.
• Certification of the installation and extinguishers.
• Five-year warranty.
• Follow-on service contract for future maintenance.

Having a competent 3rd party accredited company servicing, installing and maintaining your fire extinguishers, means you have detailed records should there be a fire at your premises. The Fire Authorities investigate fires, these can result in breaches of the Regulatory Reform (Fire safety) Order 2005. The investigation will look at proof of competency, for any organisation supplying or maintaining fire safety equipment at the premises. Insurance companies will also look at these records. If you cannot prove compliance through competence of service and product providers, there is a chance your insurance won’t pay out on the claim in full. The recognised standards must be met.

Our advice would always be to purchase from a third party accredited, BAFE approved company like ours. This is not a sales ploy; we want to offer an education to everyone about the importance of complying with your legal obligations and ensuring we give advice suited to our customers and their needs.
