Closed buildings corrode units
Damp, cold and salt air over a winter attack cylinders, brackets and pins. A pre-season service catches that while there is time to replace condemned units, rather than during the first busy weekend.

Fire Extinguisher Servicing in Wexford
ADS Group supplies, services and certifies fire extinguishers, hose reels and fire blankets across County Wexford to I.S. 291, with an annual basic service by a competent person. For seasonal premises the service belongs before opening, because a closed building is where units corrode and go missing without anyone noticing.
What matters for Wexford buildings
Holiday parks and outdoor premises need weather-rated housing
Units sited outdoors or in open structures need housings that keep them usable. An extinguisher that has been rained on all winter is frequently condemned rather than serviced.
Port and logistics premises run to a different clock
In the same county, distribution premises operate year-round with layouts that change, so their issue is access and travel distance rather than seasonal corrosion. Both are covered, but they are different inspections.
What the visit includes
- Annual basic service of every extinguisher to I.S. 291, each unit labelled and logged
- Pre-season timing for seasonal premises, so condemned units are replaced before opening
- Corrosion and water ingress checked on outdoor and semi-exposed units
- Travel distance and access checked in operational and storage areas
- 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 Wexford page.
Frequently asked questions
- When should a seasonal premises have extinguishers serviced?
- Before opening. A winter closure is when units corrode and go missing, and a pre-season service leaves time to replace anything condemned.
- Can extinguishers be sited outdoors?
- Yes, with a weather-rated housing. Without one they are routinely condemned rather than serviced, because water ingress and corrosion make them unreliable.
- Do you cover Rosslare and the port area?
- Yes, along with Wexford town, Gorey, Enniscorthy and New Ross.
