Types of Fire Extinguishers We Supply and Service

Fire Extinguishers for Businesses in London, Heathrow, and Reading & More Area.

At Scarlett Fire & Security, we provide a comprehensive range of fire extinguishers to ensure your business in London, Heathrow, Reading, or Trafalgar Square is prepared for all types of fires. Fires are categorised into different classes based on the materials involved, and using the correct type of fire extinguisher is essential for safety. Our expert team can help you select and supply the right extinguishers for your business, ensuring compliance with UK regulations.

Types of Fire Extinguishers:

Water Extinguishers: Used for Class A fires (combustibles like wood, paper, and cloth). These should never be used on electrical fires.

Foam Extinguishers: Suitable for Class B fires (flammable liquids like petrol, oil, and grease). Foam cuts off oxygen to the flames and cools the fire.

CO2 Extinguishers: Ideal for Class B fires, as they displace oxygen with carbon dioxide, putting out the fire.

Dry Powder Extinguishers: Used for Class C (flammable gases) and Class D (combustible metals like magnesium and aluminium) fires. These extinguishers interrupt the chemical reaction of the fire.

Wet Chemical Extinguishers: Designed for Class F fires, such as cooking oils. These extinguishers create a barrier on top of the oil, blocking oxygen to the fire.

Water Mist Extinguishers: Versatile extinguishers that can tackle a wide range of fire classes.

ABC Powder Extinguishers: These extinguishers are effective for fighting Class A, B, and C fires.

Fire Extinguisher Hire and Purchase:

At Scarlett Fire & Security, we offer both purchase and hire options for all types of fire extinguishers. Hiring is an excellent option for businesses that need temporary fire protection. For example, if you’re hosting an outdoor exhibition or event in London or Reading, or using temporary structures like marquees, fire extinguishers are required by law.

You may also choose to hire extinguishers if you're planning a move to larger premises or need specific equipment for a short-term project. We provide the flexibility to hire extinguishers for as long as you need to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations.
