Other than very specific applications in Aerospace, Military and Shipping Halon Extinguishers are banned in the UK and throughout most of the World. It is illegal to own a charged Halon extinguisher in the UK unless you have one of these exemptions. Disposal is by regulated Companies who reclaim the Halon.


If you wish to dispose of a Halon extinguisher you should contact your local Environmental Services.

Brief instructions on how to use the extinguisher are printed on the canister. Our extinguishers are high quality and built to last, indeed they can last for up to 10 years.  However, this will only happen if their life is prolonged by adequate annual service and maintenance, which is a formal regulatory requirement.

Apart from our factory sealed and disposable fire extinguishers all of the extinguishers we supply can be refilled and where appropriate repressurised. Refilling should only be undertaken by a competent person trained or experienced in Fire Extinguisher Maintenance and Servicing.

We supply refills, cartridges, spare parts and extinguisher consumables for this purpose.

Yes, we are able to offer servicing and maintenance, please contact a member of our team on 01724 281044 to discuss your specific requirements.

The Fire Rating printed on all Quality Approved Fire Extinguishers indicate the type(s) (or Class) and size of fire the extinguisher can deal with.

Class A fires are burning solids like wood, paper and fabrics. Class B Fires are flammable liquids like petrol and hydrocarbon oils and fuels. Class C Fires are flammable liquid and pressurised gases. Class D Fires are burning metals. Class F Fires are flammable cooking oils and fats

There is no Class E, often mistaken as describing Electrical Fires. See product descriptions for the types of extinguishers you can use on electrical fires.

Some extinguishers are effective on more than one Class of fire. Read the product description for details.

Some fire extinguishers such as small disposable units or those with a chrome/silver finish fall outside the scope of BS EN3 but can carry other approvals.  When browsing these products, you should always look for alternative recognised independent approvals which will be listed within the Descriptive text.

This depends on the type and size of fire risk you are intending to protect. Our Advice section and Extinguisher Wizard will help you determine the options available. If you are a business your Fire Risk Assessment will indicate the type(s) of extinguisher(s) you require. You can also call our Customer Support line on 01724 281044 for help but the law limits us from making specific recommendations without conducting a Site Survey.

Yes, our extinguishers are factory filled and pressurised being supplied with a suitable bracket, fixings and instructions for wall or vehicle mounting.  However, please note that under BS5306:3/2009 it is required that all fire extinguishers should be subject to a commissioning process on site immediately prior to installation.  This work must be undertaken by a competent person.
