Fire Extinguisher Servicing in Westmeath

ADS Group supplies, services and certifies fire extinguishers, hose reels and fire blankets across County Westmeath to I.S. 291, with an annual basic service by a competent person. In multi-tenant retail the recurring problem is that nobody is sure which units belong to the landlord and which belong to the unit occupier.

What matters for Westmeath buildings

Shared buildings need the inventory split and written down

A retail park with a dozen occupiers has extinguishers in the units, in the service corridors and in the plant areas. Without a written split, the service corridors are the ones nobody services. An inventory by location and by responsible party is the fix, and it takes one survey.

Tenant fit-outs move or remove units

Shopfits relocate, cover over or quietly dispose of extinguishers. The annual service is where that is caught, which makes an accurate asset list more useful than a headcount.

Function and conference spaces change the risk

A room holding six hundred people for an event, with catering and temporary electrical loads, is not the same risk as the same room empty. Cover is specified for how the space is used at capacity.

What the visit includes

  • Annual basic service of every extinguisher to I.S. 291, each unit labelled and logged
  • Written inventory by location and responsible party in multi-tenant buildings
  • Missing, relocated or covered-over units identified and reported
  • Wet chemical cover confirmed wherever commercial cooking oils are used
  • Extended service and refill at the intervals the standard sets for each type
  • 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 Westmeath page.

Frequently asked questions

Who services the extinguishers in the service corridors?
Normally the landlord or management company, but it depends on the lease. Without a written split those shared areas are the ones that get missed, so we record an inventory by location and responsible party.
A tenant has refitted and units have disappeared. What happens?
They are reported at service against the asset list, which is why an accurate inventory is more useful than a simple count.
Do you cover Athlone and Mullingar?
Yes, across both towns and the wider county, including multi-tenant retail parks where the inventory has to be split between landlord and occupier.
