What size and how many fire extinguishers Carlow businesses need
Under I.S. 291, the type and number of fire extinguishers depend on the building’s floor area, the fire risks in each room, and the class of fire likely to occur. A small office needs a very different setup to a workshop, kitchen, warehouse or school. We come out, walk the site, and tell you exactly what you need — no more, no less. If you already have units, we work with what’s there and only replace what’s genuinely time-expired or the wrong type for the risk.
Fire extinguishers Carlow — areas we cover
We supply fire extinguishers Carlow-wide — Carlow town, Tullow, Muine Bheag, Hacketstown, Ballon, Rathvilly, Leighlinbridge, Borris, Tinryland, Fenagh and Myshall. Our engineers run scheduled Carlow rounds most weeks of the year for existing fire-safety clients, so a new order or one-off delivery usually slots in within the week. Every set of fire extinguishers Carlow we supply is logged against your building’s compliance file, so the annual service the following year picks up exactly where the install left off.
The Carlow buildings we look after
Carlow is one of our regular routes. From our base in south Wexford, our engineers are on Carlow roads every week for existing fire-safety clients, and we’ve been supplying fire extinguishers across the county for close to fifty years. Our Carlow work covers the full range of hotels, restaurants, offices, retail shops, schools, healthcare facilities, factories, warehouses, churches and community centres the county has — together with our regular extinguisher, alarm and PAT testing rounds, which means we’re often already on site and a fire extinguisher supply job can be added in at sensible combined-rate pricing. If it’s a Carlow building that needs fire extinguishers, we can almost certainly look after it alongside the rest of your fire-safety work.
Compliant under Irish building regulations
All fire extinguishers Carlow businesses buy from us are supplied and serviced to I.S. 291 — annual basic service, refill every 3 years, and retirement at the 10-year mark. Every unit is tagged, dated and logged in your compliance file from the moment we mount it on the wall. Your paperwork is ready the moment an inspector, insurance auditor or new tenant asks to see it. Full compliance also runs under Technical Guidance Document B 2024 (Volume 1).

Common questions about fire extinguishers Carlow
How many fire extinguishers does a Carlow business need?
Under I.S. 291, the minimum is one Class A extinguisher (water, foam or water mist) per 200 m² of floor area, with a minimum of two units per storey, plus additional units for specific risks — CO2 near electrical equipment, wet chemical in any kitchen with a fryer, dry powder in workshops. We’ll walk the site and give you a written schedule.
Where can I buy fire extinguishers in Carlow?
Directly from us — we’re based in Killinick, Co. Wexford, and we deliver Carlow-wide, usually within the week. Unlike buying online, every unit we supply comes wall-mounted, signed, tagged, added to your compliance file, and diarised for its next annual service.
How much does a fire extinguisher cost in Carlow?
It depends on type and size — a 1kg powder extinguisher is at the low end, a 9-litre wet chemical unit for a commercial kitchen is at the higher end. We give a full itemised quote after a free site survey so you know exactly what each unit costs before you commit.
Do you dispose of old fire extinguishers?
Yes — when we deliver new units we take away any that have reached the 10-year mark or are damaged beyond repair, and dispose of them responsibly. You get a certificate showing the old units were retired correctly.
