Glasgow's building diversity — from sandstone tenements to glass-and-steel towers, from converted warehouses to purpose-built retail parks — means that fire risks vary enormously from premises to premises. The one constant is the legal requirement under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 for all non-domestic premises to maintain appropriate firefighting equipment to BS 5306 standards.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service operates actively across Glasgow, conducting routine compliance audits of commercial premises. The consequences of non-compliance are serious: enforcement notices, prohibition notices that can shut down your business, and criminal prosecution.
We service fire extinguishers across all Glasgow postcodes — from G1 in the city centre to G78 in Neilston, from G11 in the West End to G40 in the East End. Our BS 5306-compliant annual service covers every type of portable fire extinguisher, and we advise on the correct provision for your specific fire risks.
Glasgow's commercial kitchens require particular attention. The city's thriving restaurant scene — from the Michelin-starred establishments on Byres Road and Ingram Street to the street food vendors at Platform or the Barras Art and Design Centre — all require wet chemical extinguishers rated for Class F (cooking oil and fat) fires. We ensure your kitchen fire protection meets all applicable standards.
