Prestige Fire Protection

We supply and install quality fire extinguishers that cover all types of risks, and comply with the current standard BS EN3:1996, and come with a manufacturers no quibble 5 year warranty. All extinguishers are thoroughly checked by our engineers before installation.

There are many websites where you can buy online at “discount prices” and the extinguishers are delivered to your door by carrier, which has an additional charge. But they can suffer damage in transit, and it is for this reason that current legislation states that extinguishers must be commissioned on site by a qualified person. Many of these websites fail to mention this, and will then charge a call out fee to come out to initial service the new extinguishers. Instead of making a saving you can end up actually paying more.

We do not work on commission or have sales targets, so will only advise you of what is required to meet current legislation and ensure your property is fully covered. We can supply and install within 24 hours at competitive prices.
