The number required depends on your building’s size, layout, and fire risk. As a general guide, UK guidance recommends at least one Class A extinguisher (rated 13A or higher) per 200m² of floor space, with a minimum of two per floor. Higher-risk areas such as kitchens, server rooms, and workshops typically require additional, specific extinguisher types on top of this baseline. A fire risk assessment will confirm the exact number and placement needed for your premises.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the “responsible person” for non-domestic premises in England and Wales must ensure appropriate fire-fighting equipment, including extinguishers, is provided, maintained, and regularly inspected as part of a wider fire safety strategy.
UK fire extinguishers are colour-coded by label for quick identification: red for water, cream for foam, black for CO2, blue for dry powder, and yellow for wet chemical. Each colour indicates which class of fire the extinguisher is designed to tackle – using the wrong type can make a fire worse rather than putting it out, so correct labelling and placement is essential for compliance and safety.
Extinguishers should be positioned along escape routes, near exits, and close to specific fire risks such as kitchens or electrical equipment rooms – never hidden away or obstructed. They should be mounted at an accessible height, clearly signed, and easy to reach without needing to pass through a fire risk to get to them.
Any fire extinguisher that has been used, even partially, or shows signs of damage must be immediately reported to your fire equipment service provider and professionally inspected before being returned to service.
