Fire Extinguisher Installation & Maintenance
Sentinel Projects supplies, installs and maintains fire extinguishers across schools, hospitals, commercial estates and residential buildings in Northampton, Cambridge, Oxford, London and the rest of the UK. The right extinguisher, in the right place, serviced on time and signed off. We are FireQual-qualified and BlueSky-certified.
An extinguisher is only useful if it works on the day
A fire extinguisher that is the wrong type, out of charge or overdue a service is worse than no extinguisher at all, because someone reaches for it expecting it to work. Pressure drops, seals perish and units get moved, blocked or quietly emptied without anyone noticing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the Responsible Person to provide appropriate firefighting equipment and keep it in efficient working order. In practice that means the correct extinguishers for the risks in each area, commissioned on installation and serviced on a regular schedule by a competent person.
What we cover
Fire risk-matched extinguisher supply, water, foam, CO2, powder and wet chemical
First-fix installation, wall brackets, stands and signage
Commissioning of new units on installation
Annual basic service and extended service schedules
Recharge, refill and pressure testing
Breakdown, replacement and disposal of time-expired units
Every unit we install and service is recorded, so you have a clear log of what is on site, where it is and when it is next due.
Getting the right extinguisher in the right place
Different fires need different extinguishers, and the wrong one can make things worse. Water on an electrical or cooking-oil fire is dangerous, so the type, size and siting of each unit follows the risks in that part of the building rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
We match units to the hazards in each area, mount them at the right height on the correct travel routes, and label them clearly so anyone can find and identify the right extinguisher under pressure. It is a small part of a building fire strategy that is easy to get wrong and easy to put right.
