Extinguisher Servicing: It’s likely you will need your new 12kg Powder Fire Extinguisher commissioned and then annually serviced. A legal requirement for businesses and rental properties, it’ll often be recommended by your insurance company too. We offer the option of commissioning only, or with wall fixing, where our local engineer will certify and label the extinguisher before issuing a certificate for your compliance.

Worth remembering - when a refill or test is due, at Fire Protection Online prices, a brand-new powder extinguisher costs less than getting one refilled.
