Fire extinguisher installation and commissioning for London premises that need the right equipment properly sited and ready for use
London Fire Consultants provides fire extinguisher installation and commissioning for commercial, residential and mixed use premises. We help make sure extinguishers are selected on a sensible basis, positioned appropriately, commissioned correctly and recorded clearly as part of the building fire precautions.
Who this service is for
This service is for responsible persons, landlords, managing agents, facilities managers, business owners and contractors who need new extinguisher provision installed in a controlled and practical way.
It is useful for new occupancies, fit outs, refurbishments, layout changes, replacements after a survey, and buildings where extinguisher provision has become inconsistent or no longer reflects the way the premises are used.
You may need installation and commissioning if you are
- opening a new workplace or occupied building
- fitting out a unit, office, shop or mixed use premises
- replacing outdated, damaged or unsuitable extinguishers
- acting on recommendations from a site survey
- changing the layout or risk profile of the premises
- trying to bring extinguisher provision into better order
What our installation and commissioning service includes
Selection review
Where needed, we review the premises and the intended extinguisher provision so the equipment supplied is suitable for the likely fire risks and the building layout. This reduces the chance of installing stock that looks adequate on paper but is wrong in practice.
Installation
We install extinguishers in appropriate locations so they are visible, accessible and sensibly positioned in relation to risk areas, circulation routes and building use. The aim is practical availability, not random placement.
Commissioning and handover
We commission the extinguisher provision and support a clearer handover position for the client, so the equipment enters service in a more controlled way and future maintenance can be managed from a cleaner starting point.
What good installation and commissioning should achieve
Suitability
The extinguishers installed should match the likely fire risks present rather than simply repeating old stock choices.
Placement
Units should be sited where people can locate and reach them quickly without creating confusion or obstruction.
Readiness
Commissioning should leave the equipment ready to enter service as part of the building fire precautions.
Manageability
The final provision should be easier to service, review and manage over time rather than becoming another poorly controlled asset list.
How the process works
Review the premises
We establish the building type, use, layout and likely fire hazards.
Confirm the provision
We identify the extinguisher types and locations that make practical sense for the premises.
Install and commission
We install the equipment and place it into service in a more controlled and coherent way.

Frequently asked questions
What is fire extinguisher commissioning?
Commissioning is the process of putting extinguisher provision into service in a controlled way after supply and installation, so the equipment is ready for use and can be managed properly going forward.
Can you install extinguishers without a separate survey?
Sometimes, yes. Where the provision is already clear. Where it is not, a site survey is usually the better starting point because it reduces the risk of installing the wrong equipment in the wrong places.
Do you also provide the extinguishers?
Yes. We can support the supply, installation and commissioning process as part of the overall service.
Can this lead into annual servicing?
Yes. We also provide annual servicing so the extinguisher provision can be maintained after installation and commissioning.
Do you only cover London?
We support London clients and London premises, while also working more widely. If your premises are in London, this page is the right place to start.
