Why a cheap online extinguisher can cost more

It arrives in a box, not fitted or commissioned, and the British Standard expects new extinguishers to be commissioned by a competent person when installed. You may also buy the wrong type.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest fire extinguisher?
A 1kg powder at £14.90, but powder is messy and not ideal indoors, so it suits vehicles and small outdoor risks.

Usually CO2, as it leaves no residue.
Can you supply types not on the list?
Yes, on request.
