The Right Fire Extinguishers, Ready When You Need Them

A small fire can be stopped in seconds with the correct fire extinguisher. The wrong type, or one that hasn’t been checked, can make things worse.

Full Circuit Fire & Security supplies, installs and services fire extinguishers for businesses across Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Cumbria, from our base in Blackburn.

We assess the fire risks in your premises, recommend the right extinguishers and position them correctly.

Then we keep them serviced to British Standards, so they’re always ready to use.

Fire Extinguisher Supply and Installation

We help you work out exactly what your premises needs, based on how each area is used, the hazards present and your fire risk assessment.

Every fire extinguisher we supply carries the British Standard Kitemark.

We mount and sign each unit in the correct location, so staff can find and use it quickly. We can also supply fire blankets, signage and other fire safety equipment.

Types of Fire Extinguishers

Different fires need different extinguishers. Using the wrong one can spread a fire or put people at risk.

We’ll match each extinguisher to the risks in each area of your building:

• Water extinguishers: Class A fires such as wood, paper and textiles
• Foam extinguishers: Class A and B fires, including flammable liquids like petrol and paint
• CO2 extinguishers: Class B fires and electrical equipment, leaving no residue
• Dry powder extinguishers: Class A, B and C fires, including flammable gases
• Wet chemical extinguishers: Class F fires involving cooking oils and fats in commercial kitchens

BAFE Accredited Fire Extinguisher Technicians

We are BAFE accredited for fire extinguisher work, and our team is trained in fire safety and kept up to date with the regulations.

Our engineers are audited every year, both internally and by an independent third party, so you know the work is done properly.

Why Businesses Choose Professional Extinguisher Servicing

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, most business premises need appropriate fire-fighting equipment. Many insurers also expect it to be in place and maintained.

A professionally supplied and serviced setup gives you:

• A fast response to a fire before it can spread
• The right extinguisher for every type of fire risk
• Less damage to property and equipment
• Support with your compliance and insurance requirements
• Peace of mind for staff and visitors

Regular servicing also gives you the records to prove it.

Annual Fire Extinguisher Servicing

BS 5306-3 recommends that fire extinguishers are serviced by a competent person every year, with monthly visual checks by your own staff.

Our engineers check that every unit is in the right place, full, undamaged and ready to use, and refill or replace any that are discharged or out of date.

Book an annual fire extinguisher service or add your extinguishers to a maintenance plan that covers all your fire safety equipment.
