Offices and workplaces
Protection for offices with electrical equipment and everyday workplace risks
Looking for an easier way to manage fire protection at your Birmingham premises?
Behind TristarFS is a leadership team with decades of experience across property, commercial operations, compliance and technical service environments. That experience includes supporting thousands of corporate and public sector client accounts across the UK and Europe.
Today, we focus on helping organisations move away from traditional fire extinguisher servicing through the British-made P50 range. We supply, site and commission P50s for organisations in Birmingham and across the UK, with practical support to help you make the change.
The P50 isn't a conventional steel fire extinguisher. Its composite construction is corrosion-resistant, lightweight and designed to remain in service for much longer.
A trained member of your team can carry out the annual inspection, removing the need to arrange an engineer service each year. There is no five-year discharge test.
Each P50 has a 20-year lifecycle, with a manufacturer's overhaul at year 10. New extinguishers also come with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.
Birmingham has long been associated with manufacturing and engineering, but today's city also has a significant mix of offices, retail, hospitality, logistics and public sector premises.
Protection for offices with electrical equipment and everyday workplace risks
Solutions for shops, restaurants and other customer-facing premises
Extinguishers selected around machinery, stored goods, materials and working processes
Suitable options for individual public buildings and wider property estates
A warehouse storing goods presents different risks from an office filled with electrical equipment, while manufacturing premises may have their own combination of machinery, materials and working processes. Your fire protection needs should reflect your premises, not simply follow the same setup from one building to the next.
One advantage of the P50 is its ability to tackle several classes of fire. In suitable locations, this can allow one P50 to take the place of a pair of traditional extinguishers.
The range isn't limited to one model either. Options include water-based, powder, F-Class and PFAS-free foam extinguishers, allowing the equipment to be matched more closely to the risks you need to cover.
If you're considering a P50 fire extinguisher in Birmingham, TristarFS can help you work out which option is appropriate for your premises.
Fire extinguisher servicing doesn't stop at the engineer's invoice. Someone has to arrange the appointment, provide access and keep track of when each visit is due.
When you no longer require the annual engineer service, it can make a big difference to costs and time. This is particularly true when you're responsible for a larger site or several properties spread across Birmingham. The longer replacement cycle and potential to use fewer extinguishers can reduce costs further. Depending on your existing setup, switching to P50 could deliver a return on your investment in as little as three years.
Managing annual fire extinguisher inspections doesn't have to be complicated. The TristarFS app gives businesses across Birmingham a straightforward way to carry out and record their yearly P50 checks in-house.
With step-by-step guidance, staff can complete the required inspections and record each check. This helps businesses maintain organised maintenance records and stay on top of their fire safety responsibilities.
For organisations with multiple locations, the app makes it easier to manage inspections across different premises without arranging annual external servicing visits.
You can download the TristarFS app on iPhone and Android devices.
Whether you're replacing conventional extinguishers or starting from scratch at new premises, we'll help you find the right equipment for the risks you need to cover.
