Fire safety equipment, signage and cabinets

Extinguishers and blankets are the headline. The things that make them usable are signage people can read from across a room, a stand that stops a unit being kicked under a desk, and a cabinet that keeps weather and curious hands off equipment in a yard or a corridor.

We supply and install the whole supporting kit, usually on the same visit as the extinguishers, so the premises leaves our hands finished rather than half-done.

What we supply and fit

• Identification and location signage: extinguisher ID signs, fire action notices, fire exit and directional signage, photoluminescent where there is no borrowed light.
• Extinguisher stands: single and double, floor-standing, for glazed fronts, partitions and anywhere you cannot fix to a wall.
• Cabinets: indoor and weatherproof external cabinets for yards, car parks, site compounds and public areas.
• Call point covers and keys to cut malicious activations in schools, pubs and public buildings.
• Fire buckets, sand buckets and stands where they are still the right answer.
• Fire-rated letterboxes, door signage and intumescent accessories for flat entrance doors.
• Document holders for the fire log, mounted where the brigade will look.

Signage that people can actually act on

Signage is cheap and gets treated as an afterthought, then on the day nobody can find the extinguisher because the sign is at knee height behind a coat rack. We mount identification signs above the unit at a height visible across the room, and fire action notices by the exits and the call points rather than in the back office.

For listed buildings, boutique hotels and well-finished interiors we will supply discreet signage that still does its job: same information, less shouting.

Fabrication where nothing fits

Old buildings rarely give you a flat wall at the right height. Where there is no sensible fixing, we fabricate: a bracket, a plinth, a timber plate scribed to the wall, a stand weighted so it will not tip. A carpentry, groundworks and building background means we make the part rather than ordering an approximation of it.
