Buy Extinguishers
Note: Many internet sales that purport to be British standard are often cheap, and potentially dangerous, Chinese imports.
To meet the British Standard extinguishers must be commissioned on site (a 27 step process) with all the initial findings noted on the service label. This cannot be done on a sale only basis. The commissioning engineer should be competent (e.g. FIA trained).
We not only supply at very cost effective rates but also commission, fit and maintain.
