We received a telephone enquiry from a new customer who required annual fire extinguisher(s) servicing of their business premise in Nantwich town centre.
Our engineer assessed the retail shop unit, located within a traditional terraced row of shops, which measured below 200m2 per floor. A Fire Risk Assessment had been conducted by a staff member some time ago, but in-line with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it was recommended for this to be professionally updated, ensuring full fire safety compliance.

Fire Extinguisher Servicing & Replacement in Nantwich
After assessing the existing very old portable fire extinguisher provision throughout with the ‘Responsible Person’, it was identified there was a shortfall in A-Class and Electrical fire extinguisher provision, in-line with British Standards BS5306-3 & 8.
Fire extinguisher points consisting of 1 x 9-Litre Water (13A BSI Kitemarked UKCA) and 1 x 2KG CO2 Carbon Dioxide (34B BSI Kitemarked UKCA) were to be put in place, to provide suitable and sufficient first-aid fire-fighting cover for the identified fire risks (wood, paper, textiles and electrical) present, and allowing for ‘aiding escape’ from the unit in the event of fire.
9-Litre Water extinguishers were used on this occasion due to the high levels of cardboard storage materials present.
Upon completion, our engineer provided a ‘without-charge’ 3-year fire safety logbook & basic fire safety training booklet, enabling the responsible person to fully understand their legal obligations, and underpin their ongoing fire safety processes and procedures.
