Comprehensive Fire Extinguisher Services for Your Peace of Mind
At Crothers Security, we understand the critical role that fire extinguishers play in protecting lives and property. That’s why we offer comprehensive fire extinguisher services to ensure that your equipment is always in optimal condition and ready to use in case of an emergency.
Annual Service: What We Do
Portable fire fighting equipment should be maintained at least once a year to ensure reliability and effectiveness. Our annual service includes:
- Visual Inspection: A thorough visual inspection is carried out to identify any signs of damage or missing equipment. We recommend conducting weekly internal inspections and promptly reporting any issues to ensure the safety of your premises.
- Test Discharge and Refill: In compliance with I.S. 291:2015 regulations, at least one third of all water, foam, dry powder, and carbon dioxide extinguishers are test discharged and refilled annually. This ensures that your extinguishers are fully operational and ready for use when needed.
Fire Extinguisher Maintenance Contracts
To simplify compliance and ensure ongoing safety, we offer fire extinguisher maintenance contracts. With a maintenance contract, we will schedule and undertake all necessary inspections and maintenance as required by regulations. Our team will also provide expert advice and recommendations to keep your equipment in good working order.

Different Environments Require Different Types Of Extinguishers.
Below is a brief overview:
AFF Foam Fire Extinguishers – Aqueous Film-Forming Foam extinguishers are typically used on fires involving Class A (Solid Combustible) and Class B (Flammable Liquid) risks, as they quickly extinguish the flame and are effective in preventing re-ignition.
Carbon Dioxide (Co2 Extinguishers) –do not leave any residue, unlike a foam extinguisher. Primarily used on Electrical Fire They can also be used on Class B fires, those involving flammable liquids such paraffin or petrol. CO2 extinguishers work by smothering the fire and cutting off the supply of air.
Wet Chemical Extinguishers – Class A & F These are primarily designed for use on Class F fires, cooking oils and deep fat fryers. They can also be used on Class A fires (wood, paper and fabrics) and Class B fires (flammable liquids). Wet chemical extinguishers have a yellow label.
ABC Powder – Class A,B, C Suitable for Class A, B, C and Electrical Fires. Useful for Cold settings, as they are not as susceptible to frost as water-based extinguishers. These are very effective for burning and free-flowing liquids. When powder is applied to hot smouldering surfaces, the particles fuse together and swell.
Fire Blankets – Clothing & Saucepan Fires These are fire-resistant sheets of material that can be used to cover a fire to cut its supply of oxygen or wrap around a person whose clothes are on fire.
