Choose the Right Agent
One extinguisher does not fit every risk. We match media to materials, equipment, and occupancy so first-aid firefighting is effective and safe.
Trusted protection for everyday Class A materials — paper, wood, and textiles — with foam options that also tackle flammable liquids where appropriate.
CO₂ for electrical equipment and dry powder for multi-risk areas — essential for plant rooms, kitchens interfaces, workshops, and vehicle areas.
Wet chemical extinguishers for cooking oil and fat fires, plus specialist media and covers for unique industrial or high-risk environments.
End-to-End Service
SAFECORE manages the full extinguisher lifecycle so equipment is correctly chosen, visible, accessible, and ready — not just present for a tick-box check.
We walk your premises, identify fire risks by area, and recommend extinguisher types, sizes, and quantities aligned with occupancy and activities.
New extinguishers from trusted manufacturers, correctly colour-coded and selected for the materials and equipment present on site.
Wall brackets, floor stands, and locations that keep units visible, reachable, and clear of obstruction — with proper ID signage above each point.
Practical guidance on extinguisher types, when not to fight a fire, and the PASS method so teams know what to do — and when to evacuate instead.
Scheduled inspections, pressure and condition checks, replacement of life-expired units, and certification to keep you audit-ready.
Combine extinguishers with fire alarms, emergency lighting, and fire risk advice so first-aid equipment sits inside a complete fire safety strategy.
Know Your Fire Classes
British Standard classifications help match extinguishing media to fuel types. We specify coverage room by room — not a one-size-fits-all corridor kit.
Wood, paper, textiles and furnishings. Water and foam are typical first choices for offices, classrooms, and common areas.
Petrol, solvents, paints and oils. Foam, powder, and CO₂ options depending on the environment and nearby electrics.
Flammable gas risks need specialist assessment. We advise on extinguisher suitability and, critically, gas isolation procedures.
Not a formal class, but a daily reality — CO₂ or specialist clean agents protect switchgear, servers, and live equipment safely.
Deep fat fryers and commercial kitchens require wet chemical extinguishers sited where staff can reach them quickly.
Workshops, plant rooms, and warehouses often need multi-risk powder or carefully combined provision — we design the mix.
Visible. Accessible. Serviceable.
An extinguisher behind a stack of boxes is worthless. We position units on escape routes and near risk points, with clear signage and unobstructed approach.

Why Extinguishers Matter
Portable extinguishers give trained people a chance to tackle small fires early, protect escape routes, and buy time while the alarm raises the building.
Under UK fire safety law, responsible persons must provide appropriate fire-fighting equipment. That means more than buying a few red cylinders — types must match risks, siting must be practical, and servicing must stay up to date.
We help landlords, facilities managers, and business owners meet those duties with clear recommendations, tidy installation, and annual maintenance that keeps certificates current for insurers and inspectors.
Support your duties under the Fire Safety Order with suitable equipment and records.
Contain small fires before they block escapes or destroy stock and equipment.
Servicing certificates and location plans that satisfy inspections and underwriters.
Clear labelling and guidance so people know which unit to use — and when not to.
Where We Work
Whether you need a starter pack for a small shop or a full multi-building schedule, we design cover around how each space is used.
Corridor, reception, and plant-room provision with clean electrical coverage for IT and switchgear.
Shop floors, stock rooms, and kitchen Class F protection for cafés, restaurants, and hotels.
Mixed-risk powder and specialist coverage for workshops, loading bays, and storage aisles.
School and campus buildings with robust siting, clear signage, and easy service access.
Sensitive environments where correct media and unobstructed access routes are essential.
Communal areas and plant rooms supported with appropriate types and landlord service schedules.
Extinguishers lose pressure, get damaged, or outlive their service life. Our BS 5306 annual servicing catches faults early, replaces expired units, and leaves you with clear certification.

Common Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most often from facilities managers, landlords, and business owners.
It depends on floor area, layout, occupancy, and fire risks — not a fixed number per building. We survey your premises and recommend types and quantities so travel distances and risk zones are properly covered.
An annual basic service checks that each extinguisher is present, correctly sited, undamaged, within service life, and ready for use. Faulty or expired units are repaired or replaced, and you receive certification for your records.
No. Water extinguishers must never be used on live electrical equipment. CO₂ is the common choice for electrics; powder can also be suitable in some cases. Correct type selection and staff awareness are essential.
Yes. Cooking oil and fat fires (Class F) require wet chemical extinguishers, correctly sited near the risk. Standard foam or CO₂ alone is not appropriate for deep-fat fryer fires.
Service life varies by type and manufacturer, but many units need extended service or replacement after a set number of years. We flag life-expired equipment during annual visits so you stay compliant.
Yes. We supply, site, and service fire extinguishers across Sussex and further afield across the UK. Contact us with your postcode for availability and lead times.
