Fire Extinguisher Hire for Events & Christmas — Short-Term, Winter-ReadyChristmas Markets • Parties • Marquees • Festivals • From 1 Day to 3 Months • Delivery, Positioning & Collection Included

Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the event organiser (or venue operator) is the 'responsible person' and must carry out a fire risk assessment and provide suitable firefighting equipment. For Christmas markets, parties, marquee events and seasonal attractions, this means hiring and positioning fire extinguishers at fire points across your site. The number, type and location of extinguishers is determined by your event fire risk assessment — we can advise on this as part of your hire quote.

The cost depends on the number of extinguishers, the hire duration, and the types required. Short-term event hire is priced per unit per day or per event, with delivery, positioning, collection and compliance certification included. A small one-night Christmas party might need 2–4 extinguishers for a single day; a week-long Christmas market might need 10–30+ units. Contact us with your event details for a fixed, no-obligation quote.

We offer flexible hire periods to match your event: single-day hire for one-night Christmas parties, weekend hire for Friday–Sunday events, week-long hire for extended markets, and multi-week or monthly hire for full Christmas market runs and seasonal attractions. Whatever your dates, we structure the hire around them — you only pay for the cover you need.

A typical Christmas market needs a mix: wet chemical or fire blankets for catering areas with cooking oil; foam extinguishers for general stalls, bars and retail; dry powder for generator compounds, LPG stores and fuel storage; and CO₂ for stages, production areas and electrical distribution. We assess your market layout and supply the correct types and quantities for each risk area.

Yes, with the right precautions. Water and foam extinguishers can freeze below 0°C, so for outdoor winter use we either supply anti-freeze-treated units or recommend dry powder and CO₂, which operate to -20°C and below. We also supply weatherproof cabinets and stands to protect outdoor units from rain, snow and wind. For short outdoor events, standard units may be acceptable if checked regularly and protected from the elements.

Yes. Delivery and collection are included in every event hire quote. We deliver before your event starts, position the extinguishers at fire points across your site, and collect them after the event ends. This means no storage, no transport and no disposal — you get fully compliant temporary fire cover without any of the logistics.

Yes. Every extinguisher we supply for event hire is serviced, checked and certified to BS 5306-3 before delivery. They arrive ready for use with service labels, safety pins and tags in place. After your event, you receive a compliance certificate for your event fire safety file — essential evidence for your fire risk assessment, insurance and local authority requirements.

We offer same-day and next-day delivery across much of the UK, with nationwide mobilisation within 48–72 hours. Christmas is our busiest period for event hire, so we strongly recommend booking as early as possible — ideally October or early November — to guarantee availability for your dates. For last-minute or urgent requirements, call 0330 043 0646 and we'll do everything we can to get you covered.

Yes. We supply floor-mounted stands, wall brackets, rigid plastic fire point signage, and extinguisher ID signs with every hire. For outdoor and winter events, we also supply weatherproof cabinets and photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) signage for low-light conditions. Stands and signage are included in your hire quote — there are no extras.

Yes. Our team can advise on the correct extinguisher types, quantities and locations for your event fire risk assessment. While we don't write the full assessment for you, we provide practical guidance on fire point placement, travel distances (typically 25m to the nearest extinguisher), and risk-specific cover for catering, generators, marquees and production areas. We can also sign you to the National Fire Chiefs Council event safety templates.

We cover the whole of the UK from our Chorley, Lancashire headquarters. Our engineers deliver and collect event fire extinguishers nationwide — including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Liverpool, Newcastle, Bristol, the South Coast, Scotland and Wales. For large or multi-site seasonal events, we can coordinate deliveries across multiple locations.

Yes. We have the stock and engineering capacity to supply large-scale seasonal events — from single-day village fairs to multi-week city-centre Christmas markets with hundreds of stalls. We've supplied fire safety equipment for festivals, concerts, sporting events and major productions. For large events, we recommend an early site visit and consultation to plan fire point coverage across the whole site.

If an extinguisher is discharged, used, or damaged during your event, contact us immediately and we'll arrange a replacement as a priority. Optional damage and discharge cover is available at £0.19 per unit per day, which protects against accidental use, damage and loss. Without cover, you may be charged for refills or replacement of discharged units.

Yes. For high-end venues, hospitality areas, hotel Christmas party nights and presentation-led events where appearance matters, we supply chrome-finish fire extinguishers. These provide the same BS 5306-3 compliance as standard red units but with a polished chrome finish suitable for premium environments. Ask about chrome options when you request your quote.

Yes. We supply fire extinguishers for winter marquee weddings and private functions — typically water or foam units for the marquee interior, CO₂ for any electrical or lighting equipment, and fire blankets for catering areas. We deliver, position at fire exits and escape routes, and collect after the event. Short-term hire means you only pay for the days you need.

Yes. We supply fire extinguishers for school Christmas fairs, village hall events, church Christmas events and community seasonal attractions. These typically need a small number of water or foam units positioned at fire exits and in catering areas. We deliver, position and collect — and provide the compliance certificate your venue or insurer may require.

Yes — significantly. Buying fire extinguishers for a one-off event means paying full purchase price, plus annual servicing, plus storage after the event, plus eventual disposal. Hiring means you pay only for the days you need, with delivery, positioning, collection and certification included. For a one-day or weekend Christmas event, hire is a fraction of the cost of buying.

Alongside fire extinguishers, we supply fire blankets (for catering), fire extinguisher stands and signage, weatherproof outdoor cabinets, first aid kits, eye wash stations, and site alarms for temporary or remote event areas. We can combine everything into a single event fire safety package with one delivery, one collection and one compliance certificate.

The simplest way is to call us on 0330 043 0646 with your event details (type, venue, dates, expected attendance, catering and structures), or fill in the enquiry form on this page. We'll assess your requirements and provide a fixed hire quote covering equipment, delivery, positioning, collection and certification. Once you confirm, we schedule delivery and your event is fully covered.
