The right extinguisher,
in the right place, every time.

The wrong type of extinguisher in the wrong location is worse than useless. We make sure yours are correctly specified, properly positioned and always in date — across every building you're responsible for.

BS 5306 Compliant All Types Annual Servicing Supply & Install Multi-Site Coverage

It sounds simple — buy some extinguishers, put them on the wall. But the wrong type of extinguisher in the wrong location can make a fire significantly worse. Water on a chip-pan fire. CO2 in a room full of children. These are the kinds of mistakes that happen when provision isn't thought through properly.

At Erif, we survey your building, assess the risks, and specify the right type and number of extinguishers for each area. We supply, install and service all types — water, CO2, foam, dry powder and wet chemical — and we keep a full service record for everything on your premises.

For multi-site clients, we manage your entire extinguisher programme — tracking service dates, scheduling visits and making sure every building is properly covered at all times.

Common Questions

Things people usually ask us.

How often do fire extinguishers need to be serviced?
Under BS 5306, extinguishers should be inspected annually by a competent person. Water, foam and wet chemical types also require an extended service (internal examination) every five years, and most should be replaced or overhauled after a maximum of ten years.
How many extinguishers do I need?
The number and type depends on your building's floor area, layout and the types of fire risk present. As a general guide, there should be at least one suitable extinguisher per 200 square metres. Your fire risk assessment should specify exactly what's needed.
Can I use any extinguisher type on any fire?
No — and using the wrong type can make things significantly worse. CO2 should not be used in small enclosed spaces. Water should not be used on electrical or fat fires. We'll make sure you have the right types correctly positioned.
What happens at an annual service visit?
Our engineer inspects every extinguisher on the premises — checking weight, pressure, condition, hose, safety pin and label. Any extinguishers that are discharged, damaged or out of date are replaced or recharged on the spot.
