P50 Fire Extinguishers for UK Businesses
From choosing the right models to a documented installation.
Britannia P50 fire extinguishers offer a long-life alternative to traditional steel extinguishers, with corrosion-resistant composite construction and a design life of up to 20 years, subject to the required checks and 10-year manufacturer overhaul.
They do not require an external annual service during their first 10 years, provided the required annual maintenance checks are completed by a trained, competent person.
Our complete P50 service includes:
- Assessing your premises and fire risks.
- Recommending suitable P50 models and quantities.
- Supplying and installing the equipment.
- Commissioning and documenting each extinguisher.
- Providing compatible signage, brackets, stands and cabinets.
The result: correctly selected P50 extinguishers, installed and ready for use with clear supporting documentation.

What Our Customers Say
Feedback from organisations that trust Velocity Safety with their workplace safety equipment and services.
“After many issues with the inspectors from our insurer I contacted Ross to quote. He saved us just over £3000 in the first year. He also does weekends for us to reduce downtime.”
Joe, Civils Company Midlands
“After spending £20k purchasing the wrong powered air units for our factory on our previous PPE supplier/H&S advisors recommendations, Ross came in and told us what we needed, why we needed it and what cost savings could be had over the life of the equipment. I just wish we found him sooner.”

P50 Fire Extinguisher FAQs
Answers about choosing, ordering and maintaining your P50 extinguishers.
Models & suitability
Which P50 fire extinguisher does my business need?
This depends on the materials, equipment and fire risks within your premises. Velocity Safety can recommend 6-litre water mist extinguishers, 6kg ABC powder extinguishers or an appropriate combination. A wider fire extinguisher survey and compliance audit can also be completed where required.
Can P50 fire extinguishers be installed outdoors?
Suitable P50 models can be used in outdoor and demanding environments due to their corrosion-resistant composite construction. The location, temperature range and fire risks must still be assessed, with a protective extinguisher cabinet supplied where appropriate.
Are P50 water mist extinguishers suitable near electrical equipment?
The 6-litre P50 water mist extinguisher has been tested for use near live electrical equipment up to 1000V at a distance of 1 metre, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Velocity Safety will assess the equipment and other fire risks present before confirming whether water mist is the appropriate choice for your premises.
Maintenance & lifespan
Do P50 fire extinguishers require annual servicing?
P50 extinguishers do not require an external annual service during their first 10 years, provided the prescribed annual maintenance check is completed and recorded by a trained, competent person. Velocity Safety also provides fire extinguisher servicing and maintenance for conventional equipment that remains at your premises.
How long does a P50 fire extinguisher last?
P50 extinguishers are designed for a 20-year lifecycle. A manufacturer overhaul is required after the first 10 years before the extinguisher continues into its second 10-year period.
Can P50 extinguishers replace our existing fire extinguishers?
Yes. Velocity Safety can assess your existing provision, identify suitable P50 replacements and manage the transition without leaving your premises without the required fire protection. Existing units can be professionally decommissioned and taken away through our fire extinguisher disposal service.
