For over 30 years we have supplied first-class fire extinguishers to companies all over the UK. We sell two ranges to suit every budget: Economy and Standard. Both are guaranteed and made to British Standards. The main difference is quality of manufacture, which is reflected in the guarantees offered. The Economy range is guaranteed for a year, the Standard 5 years.

How do I know which extinguishers to choose?
Regardless of Economy or Standard, the fire extinguishers you need will depend on the surrounding risks. You may have had advice from a fire officer, auditor or your Right Action extinguisher engineer. For more help in choosing the right fire extinguishers, have a look at our FREE Fact Sheet: Choosing the Right Extinguisher, or this simple pop-up table. Don’t forget you can always call us for more free advice.

What are the 'classes of fire'?
It may surprise you to know that depending on what’s burning, fires are grouped in to different categories, or classes. It stands to reason that a fire in a chip pan is quite different from one in a waste paper bin, and each one will need tackling in a different way. For a full explanation, visit our FAQ page.

Why are all fire extinguishers now red?
In 1985, an EU Directive required all fire extinguishers to be red in colour with only a small flash of the old British Standard allowed. So, Foam will have a small cream flash of colour; Dry Powder, blue; Carbon Dioxide, black; Wet Chemical, yellow.

Do we have to replace fire extinguishers in the old British Standard colours?
No. The old colours are fine. When the extinguisher comes to the end of its life, e.g. due to corrosion, it will be replaced by a new red model.
