Using the findings of your fire risk assessment alongside a site survey, Thameside Fire Protection identifies the correct extinguisher types, quantities, sizes and installation locations for your premises. We also advise on the appropriate fire safety signage, helping ensure your business remains protected and compliant with current fire safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fire extinguisher do I need?

The correct extinguisher depends on the fire risks within your building. Different extinguishers are designed for different fire classes, including ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, electrical equipment and cooking oils. We can assess your premises and recommend the most suitable solution.

How often should commercial fire extinguishers be serviced?

Commercial fire extinguishers should be visually checked regularly by the responsible person and undergo professional fire extinguisher servicing at least once a year by a competent engineer. Regular servicing helps ensure they remain safe, compliant and ready for use in an emergency.

Can I install fire extinguishers myself?

We recommend professional installation to ensure correct placement and compliance with BS5306.

Do you offer fire extinguisher training?

Yes. We offer practical fire extinguisher training to help employees understand different extinguisher types, when they should be used and how to respond safely during a fire emergency.

Are fire extinguishers a legal requirement?

Most commercial premises are required to provide appropriate firefighting equipment as part of their fire safety responsibilities. A fire risk assessment will determine the number and type of extinguishers required.

Can you service fire extinguishers supplied by another company?

Yes. We can inspect, service and maintain most makes and models of commercial fire extinguishers, provided they meet current standards and remain serviceable.

What happens if a fire extinguisher has been used?

Any extinguisher that has been discharged – even partially – should be inspected and usually recharged or replaced before it is returned to service.

How long do fire extinguishers last?

Most fire extinguishers have a long service life when properly maintained, although some require extended servicing, pressure testing or replacement after a set number of years depending on the extinguisher type.

Do you provide nationwide fire extinguisher services?

Yes. Thameside Fire Protection supplies, installs and maintains fire extinguishers for organisations throughout the UK using experienced engineers and nationwide coverage.
