FEMs is a holistic fire equipment management service that ensures your fire safety systems are functional, compliant, and environmentally responsible. The service covers:

3. Safe Collection: Responsible collection of fire equipment at the end of the project or particular phase. We will remove all excess equipment from site, minimising environmental impact. 

4. Storage: All items are carefully logged and brought back to our National Distribution Centre for assessment and secure storage until the equipment is required again. We even offer free storage for the first 6 months of an item being stored. If you need longer term storage for a particular item prices are available on request.

5. Refurbishment & Service: Our in house engineers will carry out a rigorous inspection of all equipment and provide a detailed report on any items that need refurbishment. Once approved these items are refurbished and put into storage ready to be called out to your next site. This process helps to extend equipment lifecycle and reduce waste.

Sustainability at the core

FEMs stands out because of its commitment to sustainability. Fire safety equipment, such as extinguishers, typically has a limited lifespan and often ends up in landfills after minimal use. FEMs challenges this wasteful cycle by focusing on refurbishment and reuse.

By refurbishing equipment to meet stringent safety standards, FEMs reduces the need for manufacturing new units. This approach not only lowers the carbon footprint but also aligns with the principles of a circular economy, where resources are reused and recycled rather than discarded, saving money.
