Fire Extinguisher Products and Services at the highest standard
Rosse Systems supplies and services all makes of fire extinguishers to BS5306 standards and can provide you with a professional, highly efficient service.
Fire extinguishers that are not maintained annually to the standard are no longer considered compliant. As a business owner, it is your legal obligation to have had a Fire Risk Assessment to ensure you have the right numbers and types of extinguishers in place and also an up-to-date fire log book. If your logbook is not up to date or you are due for an annual service, simply call us today.
Let us provide you with a service schedule reminder
Under the British Standard, an extended service otherwise known as discharge testing is to be carried out at the stipulated intervals. For water, foam, dry powder or wet chemicals this is every 5 years and for CO2, every 10 years.
Our Service Department can remind you when your annual Fire Extinguisher Service is due and make the necessary arrangements for an engineer to visit so you do not have to worry about missing a service each year.
Please ask about the full range of fire extinguisher products we offer – you could be extremely surprised how competitive we are on price. All our products are British Kite marked and manufactured to BS 7863 and BS EN3.
We are leading suppliers of Water Mist Extinguishers
AF-rated Water Mist are a new type of broad-spectrum extinguisher. These extinguishers are the first extinguishers that can tackle general fires as well as deep fat fryer fires which are very difficult to extinguish. Deep fat fryers currently require fire blankets or specialist wet chemical fire extinguishers to tackle them. As a result households or professional kitchens end up with at least two types of extinguishers but in the future, they will just need one type of extinguisher – water mist. Offices, general buildings, factories etc will obviously benefit from this new development as well. The simplicity of the water mist extinguisher and the fact that one extinguisher deals with all risks, also reduces the cost of extinguisher training.
A 6l water mist extinguisher is as powerful as a standard 9l water extinguisher and offers a strong F rating on the top of the normal A rating. The extinguishers also have long discharge times (the 6l version has 65.5 seconds!), offering even un-experienced users a safe way of fighting a fire.
The water mist extinguisher only contains de-mineralised water, hence leaving no residue and can, therefore, be used in food preparation areas and clean rooms. Refills are obviously cheap and easy to execute. And disposal at the end of the extinguisher’s life is no issue. The water mist is also suitable for churches and historic buildings as the water mist does not saturate the objects in the building as much as a water extinguisher would and has no harmful substances that could damage wood or soft furnishing. The extinguisher also eliminates the risk of powder inhalation in smaller spaces such as boats or small kitchens. These extinguishers are therefore perfect for indoor installation on small boats.
How does it work?
The extinguisher’s supersonic nozzle disperses microscopic ‘dry’ water mist particles to suppress fires and extinguish burning materials. The particles are attracted by the fire and cool the fire and reduce oxygen content.
They are 100% safe for use on wood, paper, textiles, flammable liquids and fat fires. While water-based extinguishers currently cannot be tested or classified for gas fires according to British Standards, dry water mist extinguishers are actually great for extinguishing gas fires.

What our clients say:
Rosse Systems provided a successful tender for the installation of a wireless fire alarm system at Harewood House. Considerate pre-work planning considered the building being built in 1771, with its contents proving vital in delivering a bespoke designed and installed fire alarm system. All aspects of the installation were carried out competently and in a truly professional manner. Harewood House, Leeds
Rosse Systems were invited to tender for the installation and commissioning of a new Intruder Alarm System (IAS) Grade 3 and additional IP Closed Circuit Television System (CCTV) to upgrade an exhibition gallery to meet Government Indemnity Scheme (GIS) standards. Following a successful bid for the tender Rosse's senior planner meet with Thackray staff and the project manager to walk through the specification and to agree on exact requirements and positioning of sensors, power supplies, IP sockets and new CCTV locations both inside and outside the exhibition gallery. An agreed timetable for the work was implemented and Rosse Systems were punctual, efficient, knowledgeable, and time economical in progressing the work to completion within the agreed time frame. Nothing was too much trouble and liaison with the senior planner ensured that work was completed successfully and to budget; it was a pleasure to work with Rosse Systems staff, and their work was neat and precise.Michael Stanley
Rosse Systems tendered electronic security works at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery back in 2017-18. Rosse coordinated well with the on-site team and was flexible in terms of working in a public building, which was partly open to the public and staff whilst work continued. They were aware of health, safety, and security issues on our site, and with guidance and discussion, they appreciated the needs of a Listed Building and the need to have sensitive interventions within the project delivery. The lead contractor for this project was always available for meetings at short notice and was ready to problem-solve when required. They provided extra staffing to meet our deadlines and an understanding of our requirements was achieved through basic staff training. The project was delivered within acceptable timescales and all additional cost items were agreed upon. Helen Thornton MA, AMA - Cartwright Hall Art Gallery Manager
Wharfebank Industrial Estate was a challenging site due to the limited timescales to deliver a hybrid system. FHP ESS explored the marketplace and found Rosse to be a renown and experienced supplier of networked radio fire systems. Rosse assisted throughout and were able to deliver and meet our client’s expectations from concept to completion. The installation caused minimal disruption whilst maintaining the integrity of fire safety throughout the program. Engineers assigned to the property were complete professionals and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dave Thewlis and his team for future fire related schemes.Wharfebank Industrial Estate
