Fire Extinguisher Supply, Maintenance & Inspection
FIRST AID OF FIRE SAFETY
Ensure Compliance to the Regulatory Fire Safety Order of 2005 and to BS5306 Part 3 2017 by qualified technicians and equip your premises with the right fire safety equipment. Thor Fire Ltd are specialists in the supply, installation and maintenance of fire extinguishers in the UK.
Having fire extinguishers isn’t just a legal requirement, they are your first line of fire fighting. We are here to make sure you have the correct extinguishers to help you.
You need to protect your business and the people close to any fire. Making sure you have the correct fire extinguisher and that it’s positioned correctly is imperative.
Inspection And Maintenance
If your portable fire extinguishers are maintained to a quality standard it will ensure they are ready to use in the event of fire. Your extinguishers should be checked once a year by a fully qualified engineer and our engineers are qualified as recognised by BAFE as satisfying the BS5306-3.2017 Annex 1.
This means that our engineers are competent to provide fire extinguisher services including:
- Sourcing (the correct selection of fire extinguishers for your building)
- Commissioning (on-site checks to ensure fire extinguisher is fit for purpose prior to installation)
- Siting (correct positioning and installation of fire extinguishers in your building)
- Maintenance/Servicing (regular checks to ensure fire extinguishers are in efficient working order and ready to use in the event of fire).
Water Based Fire Extinguishers
These fire extinguishers fight fire by spraying water. They are most effective against solid organic materials such as; wood, plastics, paper, coal, etc.
They aren’t for use against electrical or fat/oil based fires.
Foam Based Fire Extinguishers
A foam based extinguisher uses a foam that douses the fire. This results in a layer between the fuel surface and flames. Foam extinguishers are also suitable for both solid and liquid fire bases.
They are not suitable for use against electrical or fat pan/oil based fires
Powder Based Fire Extinguishers
Dry powder extinguishers stop fires by cooling flames and breaking the chemical reaction. They’re effective on solids, flammable liquids, and gas fires.
However, the powder can affect breathing, hinder evacuation, and is messy to clean. British Standards now restrict their use in offices and living spaces – they’re best suited to well-ventilated areas.
CO2 Fire Extinguishers
CO2 Fire Extinguishers shoot carbon dioxide. CO2 removes the oxygen from the chemical reaction, effectively smothering the fire. This makes the CO2 extinguisher extremely effective.
On the other hand, the CO2 can dissipate fairly quickly, allowing the fire to potentially reignite. This type of extinguisher is ideal for electrical fires and live electrical equipment.
Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers
These fire extinguishers are perfect for class F fires involving chip fat/oil based fires. This type of extinguishers sprays out a fine mist, which sits as a layer of foam on top.
You’re likely to find this type of equipment in locations where oil is cooked to a high temperature.
Fire Blankets
The essential performance requirement of a fire blanket is to extinguish a cooking oil fire and allow the oil to cool gradually. Kite marked blankets comply with BS EN1869:1997.
We supply high-quality, well-insulated blankets that are flexible and easy to use. Products may vary slightly from images or descriptions but will always meet or exceed fire safety regulations.
