ADS Group supplies, services and certifies fire extinguishers, hose reels and fire blankets across County Tipperary to I.S. 291, with an annual basic service by a competent person. In agri-food premises the units themselves take a beating, and the service has to be a condition inspection rather than a date check.
What matters for Tipperary buildings
Washdown destroys brackets, pins and labels
High-pressure washdown corrodes brackets, seizes pins and removes the service label that proves when the unit was last touched. A unit with an unreadable label is a unit with no provable history, which is a finding in itself.
Dust and grain areas need the right medium
Combustible dust behaves differently from an ordinary solid fire, and a poorly chosen discharge can disturb a dust layer rather than extinguish it. Cover in those areas is specified for the specific material handled.
Sites across the county go on one visit cycle
Clonmel, Thurles and Nenagh premises are serviced as one planned route with one certificate pack, which keeps the renewal dates aligned instead of drifting apart.

Frequently asked questions
Our extinguisher labels are unreadable. Does that matter?
Yes. The label is the proof of when the unit was last serviced and where it sits in its replacement cycle. An unreadable label means no provable history, which is a finding we raise.
Do dust-handling areas need special cover?
They need media chosen for the specific material, because a poorly chosen discharge can disturb a dust layer rather than put the fire out.
Can sites in different towns be serviced together?
Yes, on one planned route with one certificate pack and a single renewal date.
