Professional fire extinguisher mounting in Sidmouth and Devon. We install wall brackets and mount extinguishers in compliant positions for homes, businesses, and rental properties. Secure, accessible, and properly positioned for fire safety.
Fire extinguishers need secure wall mounting at the correct height and location. Commercial premises have specific regulations about positioning, while domestic installations need sensible placement for accessibility.
We fit brackets securely using fixings appropriate to your wall type, position extinguishers at the right height, and can install signage if required. The brackets must hold the full weight of the extinguisher and withstand someone grabbing it in a hurry.

Our Sidmouth Service Coverage
We cover Sidmouth and a 30-mile radius from Exeter, meaning you get local service with the backing of an established business. Whether you're in the centre of Sidmouth or in the surrounding villages, we're here to help.
Good to Know
If you have the extinguisher and bracket, bring them or let us know the models - some extinguishers need specific bracket types. We can supply standard brackets if you only have the extinguisher. Commercial premises should have a fire risk assessment that specifies extinguisher types, quantities, and locations - we work to those specifications. Extinguishers need annual servicing by certified technicians (we're not service agents but can recommend providers). If you're mounting multiple extinguishers, list the locations when booking so we can check wall types and bring appropriate fixings.
Frequently Asked Questions about Extinguisher mounting in Sidmouth
How much does fire extinguisher mounting cost?
Fire extinguisher mounting is £60 (our minimum charge for the first hour). Most single extinguisher installations take 10-20 minutes. If you have multiple extinguishers to mount, we can do them all in one visit.
Where should fire extinguishers be positioned?
Extinguishers should be easily visible, accessible, and near fire exit routes. They're typically mounted 1m-1.5m from floor level to the handle. We position them to meet fire safety guidelines and your specific requirements.
Can you mount extinguishers on all wall types?
Yes, we mount extinguishers on plasterboard, solid walls, brick, concrete, and wooden surfaces. We use appropriate fixings for each wall type to ensure the extinguisher stays secure even under impact.
Do you install the signage as well?
Yes, we can fit fire extinguisher signage at the same time if you provide it. Proper signage helps people locate extinguishers quickly in an emergency and is required in commercial premises.
