Fire Extinguisher Services
Fire extinguishers are among the most important pieces of firefighting equipment in any building. When a fire breaks out, having the right extinguisher correctly positioned and properly maintained can mean the difference between a minor incident and a major disaster.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for any non-domestic premises must ensure that appropriate firefighting equipment is provided and maintained. This includes ensuring the correct type of extinguisher is supplied for the specific risks present in the building.
Fyrup provides a full end-to-end service — from selecting the right extinguishers for your premises through to installation and ongoing annual maintenance to keep you compliant.
