Offices and professional workplaces
Where electrical equipment and everyday combustible materials are common risks
Looking for a simpler approach to fire protection for your Manchester premises?
TristarFS helps commercial and public sector organisations manage their fire extinguishers more practically. We specialise in the British-made P50 range, supplying, siting and commissioning extinguishers for individual premises and larger organisations across the UK.
Our leadership team brings decades of experience in property, compliance, commercial operations and technical service environments. We understand the demands that come with managing buildings and use that experience to help you find fire protection that works for your organisation.
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.
With traditional extinguishers, annual engineer servicing is usually part of the ongoing routine. The P50 removes that requirement. Once a member of your team has been trained, they can carry out the annual inspection themselves.
There is also no five-year discharge test. Each P50 comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty and has a 20-year lifecycle, with an overhaul by the manufacturer after its first decade.
Manchester has a diverse business landscape. Alongside its city centre offices and professional services sector, the wider city region has established strengths in digital and technology, advanced manufacturing and materials. That creates a broad range of premises and fire risks. TristarFS can help organisations looking for fire extinguishers in Manchester, including:
Where electrical equipment and everyday combustible materials are common risks
From smaller workplaces to larger technical environments
Where machinery, processes and materials can create different fire risks
Where the protection required will depend on what is being stored and how the building is used
The right extinguisher provision should reflect the risks within your premises rather than relying on the same combination everywhere.
Fire safety involves more than having extinguishers in the right places. You also need to keep on top of inspections, servicing and replacement dates.
For organisations with several buildings, coordinating annual engineer visits can add another layer of administration. Switching to P50 means trained staff can carry out the annual checks, giving you more control over when they're completed. If you're looking for a P50 fire extinguisher in Manchester, this simpler approach to ongoing management can be just as important as the potential cost saving.
Accurate fire extinguisher maintenance records are an important part of managing workplace fire safety. The TristarFS app helps Manchester businesses oversee their annual P50 inspections without relying on traditional servicing arrangements.
The app takes users through the inspection process, allowing trained staff to complete checks and record the results. This provides a convenient way to document maintenance activities and keep inspection information organised.
Whether you manage one building or several properties, the TristarFS app offers a practical solution for managing annual P50 checks.
You can download the app for both iPhone and Android.
P50 extinguishers are manufactured by Britannia Fire in Norfolk and use a composite construction that won't corrode. The range is independently certified and Kitemarked to EN3.
Their multi-purpose design can also mean fewer extinguishers are required in suitable locations. In some cases, one P50 can replace a pair of conventional units.
Combined with the removal of annual engineer servicing, this can help reduce long-term costs, with a potential return on investment in as little as three years.
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.
