ADS Group supplies, services and certifies fire extinguishers, hose reels and fire blankets across Meath to I.S. 291. Extinguishers need an annual basic service by a competent person, with extended service and replacement at intervals set by type. In schools and food premises the cover has to suit rooms with very specific risks, and those rooms are usually the ones left out of a general layout.
A school is not one risk. A science lab needs cover for chemical and electrical risk, a woodwork or metalwork room needs cover for its own hazards, and the canteen kitchen needs wet chemical. A single extinguisher specification applied across a school leaves at least one of those wrong.
Any area with commercial cooking oils needs wet chemical cover. Water and standard foam can make a fat fire worse, and this is the single most common equipment finding in food premises.
In a visitor or heritage building, the medium matters for what it will do to the contents as well as to the fire. Water on a historic interior is its own loss event, which is why clean-agent cover is often the correct specification there.
Full detail on the system types, the standards and the certification process is on the Fire Fighting Equipment page, and everything else we cover in the county is on the Meath page.
An engineer assesses the site, reviews the existing system and its documentation, and returns a written scope of works.
