Fire Protection
Fire Extinguisher Supply
Guardian Edge supplies and commissions portable firefighting equipment across the UK — water, foam, dry powder, CO₂, wet chemical and specialist extinguishers, together with brackets, stands, signage and fire blankets, selected against the actual fire risks present rather than by floor area alone.
The right medium for the risk — and the signage and bracket to go with it.
Who this is for
- New premises being fitted out
- Sites where an extinguisher survey has found the wrong types installed
- Facilities teams standardising equipment across a portfolio
Problems it solves
- Water extinguishers sited next to electrical risks
- No wet chemical provision in a commercial kitchen
- Extinguishers on the floor rather than on a bracket or stand
- Units present but unsigned, so nobody can find them under pressure

Before we price anything
Inspection & survey process
- 01
Assess the risks present
Class A, B, C, D, F and electrical risks are identified room by room, to BS 5306-8.
- 02
Specify types and quantities
Floor area sets a baseline; specific risks add to it. Travel distance determines siting.
On site
How the work is delivered
- 01
Supplied and sited
Mounted on brackets or stands at the correct height, with signage fitted.
- 02
Commissioned
Each unit commissioned and labelled, and added to the site's asset register and service schedule.
Compliance
What the rules actually require
- BS 5306-8 covers selection and positioning — which extinguishers, how many, and where.
- Extinguishers must be commissioned on installation, not simply delivered and left.
- The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires firefighting equipment to be appropriate, indicated by signs, and maintained.
Standards & legislation
These are not all the same kind of obligation, and we do not present them as if they were. A statutory duty is law. A British Standard is the recognised way of demonstrating you have met one. Guidance and our own recommendations are neither.

Selection and positioning of portable fire extinguishers

Ongoing support
Planned, reactive and multi-site.
Most providers do one of these well. The value of a single provider is that the schedule, the emergency and the portfolio all sit in the same place.
Planned maintenance
- New units enter the annual service schedule automatically
Reactive support
- Same-week replacement of discharged or missing units
Multi-site & national portfolios
- One specification and one supplier across every site
Procurement, simplified
