When considering distress purchases such as fire extinguishers it's easy to focus on the initial purchase cost, oblivious to the fact that most companies will end up paying many times that amount in recurring service costs year after year. Every conventional fire extinguisher requires an annual service. During these services over 10% of extinguishers can often been seen to be written off by service engineers - regardless of their age. Not only is this an avoidable waste of your capital expenditure, it also requires that you replace the written off extinguishers and enter into a new service contract for their replacements. In other words, those hidden costs suddenly become very visible.

Blackthorn Fire not only offer savings of up to 50% against your current fire extinguisher costs, they have launched a 60 second online calculator that lets you see just how much you could save by switching to the award winning P50 range of composite fire extinguishers.

The P50 delivers BSI, CE and LPCB approved protection yet requires no annual servicing by an engineer - just a simple 2 minute check that can be carried out in-house. That means no service contract and no servicing costs. The P50 range also comes with a full 10 year operational guarantee and free replacement in the event of it needing to be discharged.

Getting an indication of how much the P50 could save you is as easy as entering the number of fire extinguisher you currently have into Blackthorn's 60 second online calculator. Savings are calculated based on industry average costs. In other words, you could end up saving more. Plus, thanks to its award winning design, a single P50 extinguisher can often replace two different types of conventional extinguisher, reducing your costs even further since fewer extinguishers are required.
