Fire Extinguisher Servicing in Limerick

ADS Group supplies, services and certifies fire extinguishers, hose reels, fire blankets and suppression across Limerick to I.S. 291. Extinguishers need an annual basic service by a competent person, with extended service and replacement at set intervals by type. In manufacturing premises the cover has to follow the process rather than the floor plan.

What matters for Limerick buildings

Cover follows the hazard, not the square metres

A general coverage calculation puts units at regular intervals along a wall. A process hazard needs the right medium within reach of the specific risk, which is usually not where an even spacing would put it. Both calculations matter, and buildings that only do the first one end up correct on paper and wrong at the machine.

Electrical risk needs CO2 within reach

Server rooms, comms cupboards and control panels need clean-agent or CO2 cover immediately adjacent, not at the end of a corridor. This is a routine gap in otherwise well-maintained buildings.

Residential blocks need cover people will not misuse

In student housing, siting and mounting determine whether units survive the year. Discharged and missing extinguishers are reported at every visit so the pattern is visible rather than absorbed.

What the visit includes

  • Annual basic service of every extinguisher to I.S. 291, each unit labelled and logged
  • Media and placement assessed against process and electrical risk, not just floor area
  • Extended service and refill at the intervals the standard sets for each type
  • Missing, discharged or relocated units identified and reported
  • Hose reels, fire blankets and signage checked at the same visit
  • Certification on completion, scheduled with your alarm and emergency lighting service

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 Limerick page.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need a CO2 extinguisher beside the server room?
Electrical risk needs clean-agent or CO2 cover within immediate reach, not at the end of a corridor. A missing unit beside a comms cupboard is one of the more common gaps we find.
Is a coverage calculation enough?
It is half of it. General coverage spaces units evenly, but a process hazard needs the right medium close to the specific risk, which is usually not where even spacing puts it.
Can extinguisher servicing be combined with the alarm service?
Yes. On a maintenance contract both run on one visit with one engineer covering both certificates.
