Fire Protection Products

Fire Extinguishers:

Fire extinguishers are an essential part of every business in the UK, and can easily make the difference between a small incident and a full scale disaster.

Fire extinguishers are:

A legal requirement (one 13A rated extinguisher per 200sq. meters, with any additional risks to be combated with additional fire fighting equipment – ie a Carbon Dioxide extinguisher for electrical risks).
They are essential for the preservation and safety of staff and visitors.
Are an insurance requirement.
Could preserve property in the event of a fire.

The fire extinguishers we sell are manufactured by Thomas Glover, and come standard with a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty (warranty dependant on equipment being maintained annually). All extinguishers sold comply to British Standards BS EN3.

Carbon Dioxide:

For electrical fires or flammable liquids CO2 is ideal. Harmless to electrical equipment making it perfect for offices and workshops. These etinguishers have non-conductive, anti-static horns. Easy to use, no mess, and very reliable. Should not be used within confined spaces

Squeeze grip operation.
Corrosion resistant finish.
Harmless to machinery.
Kitemarked to BS EN3.
Fire Rating – 2Kg (34B), 5Kg (70B).

Foam:

Foam fire extinguishers are used in Class A (wood, paper, and textile type fires), and for class B fires, caused by the combustion of liquids and materials that liquify such as petrol, oils, fats, paints, tar etc. Spray foam extinguishers provide a fast, powerful means of tackling flammable liquids. The foam forms a seal over the surface to prevent re-ignition. Ideal for multi-risk usage and safe to use in close proximity to electrical equipment.

Water:

The Water extinguisher is still one of the most useful and cost-effective ways to put out free-burning materials such as paper, wood and fabrics. Never use on fires involving flammable liquids, nor live electrical equipment. Water Fire Extinguishers are suitable for class A fires, involving solid materials such as wood, paper, straw, textiles, coal etc.

Safety Signage:

Safety signs are an important tool in helping people to identify fire fighting equipment, and identify escape routes easily in the event of a fire.
Identification signs should be placed above each fire extinguisher to ensure that the correct extinguisher is used to combat a particular fire.
Directional Exit signs are used to direct people to their nearest fire exit. They should be located in the normal field of vision, and should be prominent, taking precedence over all other signs.

A number of additional signs are available, including:
Fire Action Signs.
Fire Exit Keep Clear / Fire Door Keep Shut signs.
Push Bar signs.
Call Point signs.
Many more available on request.

Fire Safety signs are provided in:

A number of different sizes.

Fire Alarms:

Fire Alarm Systems are installed to give warning of fire when activated manually by call points, or automatically by heat or smoke detectors. Fire Alarms are essential to ensure that people are safely evacuated in the event of a fire. Properly used and maintained, Fire Alarm systems can be a significant
factor in reducing the risk to life and the limiting of damage to your property in the event of a fire.

Whether you are requiring the installation of a new system, or simply the servicing of an existing system, please call us for a free quotation. All Fire Alarm Systems are installed and maintained to British Standards (BS5839).

Fire Alarm Systems are required by law to be serviced at least twice annually.

Emergency Lighting

Emergency lights are self contained units that are wired into the mains, but have the benefit of battery backup which enables them to remain illuminated should the mains power fail. These batteries are kept charged via the mains.

Emergency Lights are one of two types – maintained or non-maintained.

Maintained Emergency Lights remain constantly illuminated via the mains, and in the event of a power failure the back-up batteries will keep the unit illuminated for one to three hours.

Non-maintained Emergency Lights are fittings that are not illuminated, but will automatically illuminate should the mains power fail.

Why do I need such lights?

In the event of a power failure, you must ensure your building is evacuated safely and quickly - the escape routes and emergency exits need to be illuminated to achieve this.
All Emergency Lights are installed and maintained to British Standards (BS5266).

Emergency Lighting is required to be serviced at least twice annually.
