FAQs

FAQs (6)

Why do P50 fire extinguishers not need to be serviced by a 3rd party extinguisher technician?

P50 service-free fire extinguishers are constructed from components that will not corrode. So, unlike traditional stainless-steel extinguishers there is no need to replace parts that may have corroded over the 10-year period.

Who can carry out the annual visual inspection for P50 fire extinguishers?

Anyone in your organisation can complete the annual visual inspection for P50 service-free extinguishers. To ensure that they are competent in this simple process we train your staff as part of our installation package at no extra cost to you. We will issue staff with training certificates.

Are service-free extinguishers accepted by insurance companies?

Most major insurance companies have approved P50 service-free fire extinguishers. Insurance companies usually request that extinguishers are checked annually by a competent or responsible person. The guidelines for extinguisher servicing, the BS 5306-3: 2009 standard, also states that the responsible person should maintain the extinguishers. A responsible person is defined as someone who has had the correct training to carry out this annual inspection as outlined by the manufacturer.

The manufacturer gives clear guidance that only an annual visual check is required and as part of our installation package we will train your staff how to do this. We will provide your staff with a training certificate to demonstrate their competency in this process.

Have the P50 service-free extinguishers been passed by insurance companies, and what will I have to do to maintain them over the first 10 years?

Yes, all major insurance companies have approved P50 service-free fire extinguishers. According to the servicing standard BS 5306-3: 2009, a competent person must maintain the extinguishers in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. Britannia states that only an annual visual inspection is required for maintenance.

When you purchase P50 service-free extinguishers, our engineers will install them at no additional cost and provide training for you or your staff on performing the simple yearly inspection. After this training, you will be classified as a competent person. Our engineers will ensure that you have the appropriate type and number of extinguishers according to the relevant British Standards, and they will issue an installation certificate for your records with your insurer.

Unlike traditional steel fire extinguishers, P50 extinguishers do not require discharging and refilling after 5 years – only an annual visual inspection is necessary each year. Just remember to perform a monthly walk past to verify that the extinguishers are in the correct position and have not been tampered with. A video demonstrating the visual inspection is also available on our website for future reference.

P50 service-free fire extinguisher have a 20-year lifespan, other than the annual visual check, do I need to anything else in this 20-year period?

The lifespan of a P50 extinguisher is 10-years plus another 10 upon refurbishment of the unit after this time. In order to organise the refurbishment, you can contact our customer care team and they can organise this service for you.

How does the P50 service-free fire extinguisher save me over 50% on my extinguisher servicing and maintenance costs?

The P50 service-free fire extinguishers can save you over 50% on your servicing and maintenance costs due there being no 3rd party annual service, no extended servicing at 5 years, and no replacement parts due to corrosion or damage.

Due to their superior fire-fighting power, the P50 can also replace your traditional water and CO2 fire points down to one P50 Water Mist fire extinguisher, which can be used on most common types of fire including electrical up to 1000 Volts.

To ensure that you have the right type and number of extinguishers, we can come to your site and carry out a free site survey to advise on what you require.

What Our Customers Say

What Our Customers Say

Crystal Danbury, Director of Safety, Insurance & Occupational Wellbeing, Sainsbury’s

"We were blown away with the opportunity to simplify safety through the installation of P50s across our estate. P50s are the next level of extinguisher; folding 2 extinguishers into one and removing extensive and expensive maintenance regimes. All while allowing us to improve asset management, simplify training and make it easier for a colleague to execute a potentially life savings action in the event of a fire."

Brian Crow, Trust Fire Safety Manager, Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust

From the conception through to project completion, the Safelincs team demonstrated outstanding professionalism, expertise, and commitment to delivering the highest standards. Their knowledge and understanding of the specific requirements of a busy healthcare environment gave us complete confidence throughout the process. The installation was carried out efficiently, with minimal disruption to hospital operations, and every member of the team was courteous, and highly professional. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and dedication to ensuring full compliance with fire safety regulations were exemplary.

The 2 main benefits to the change to P50 extinguishers are that (1) it represents an innovative and cost-effective solution compared to traditional extinguishers, and also (2) with its capability to extinguish multiple classes of fire there is no chance that the wrong extinguisher can be used. The change to P50 extinguishers has contributed a significant reduction of 22,000kg across the life span of the project to support the NHS carbon reduction plan and net zero commitment.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Safelincs to any organisation seeking a trusted, knowledgeable, and reliable fire safety partner. Safelincs have contributed to enhancing fire safety across Birmingham Women's and Children's Hospital, and we look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you to the entire Safelincs team for a first-class service.
