ADS Group supplies, services and certifies fire extinguishers, hose reels, fire blankets and suppression systems across Dublin to I.S. 291. Extinguishers need an annual basic service by a competent person, with extended service and replacement at set intervals depending on type. We can run extinguisher servicing on the same visit as your fire alarm and emergency lighting service, so one engineer covers all three certificates.
A building passes an extinguisher count and still fails on suitability. A water extinguisher outside a plant room, a CO2 unit missing beside a server rack, a foam unit in a commercial kitchen where a wet chemical unit is required: these are the findings that come up in Dublin premises that have been serviced for years. We report on type and placement against the risk in the room, not just on whether each unit is in date.
When a Dublin unit is refitted, the extinguishers usually stay where the old layout put them. Six months later they are behind a partition, inside a locked store or holding a fire door open. Signage, mounting and access get checked as part of the service, because an extinguisher nobody can reach is not cover.
Commercial kitchens need wet chemical cover for cooking oils, and a standard foam or water unit will make a fat fire worse. Server rooms and comms cupboards need clean-agent cover. Both are routinely missing in otherwise well-maintained buildings.
Full detail on the system types, the standards and the certification process is on the Fire Fighting Equipment page, and everything else we cover in the county is on the Dublin page.
An engineer assesses the site, reviews the existing system and its documentation, and returns a written scope of works.
