Active Protection
Extinguishers, hose reels and photoluminescent signage
This is the part of the system that lets you act in the first seconds: first-response equipment to tackle an incipient fire, and signage that shows where the equipment is and where the exits are.
We handle supply, installation, inspection and maintenance, both for new installations and for bringing existing ones up to standard.

Installation and maintenance of fire equipment
These elements are a fundamental part of active protection: they allow a first response to a fire and make it easier to locate the equipment and the escape routes in an emergency.
Our team advises you on what your premises need, where it should be placed and what maintenance it requires, handling both new installations and the inspection and upgrading of existing systems.
Fire extinguishers
There are different types of extinguisher and extinguishing agent, and the choice depends on the risks of each installation. It is not just about having extinguishers: you have to select the right ones, decide where they go and keep them signposted and operational.
- Supply and installation of powder, foam and CO2 extinguishers.
- Study and adjustment of their placement.
- Periodic inspection and maintenance.
- Recharging when required.
- Statutory five-yearly retesting and hydraulic testing.
- Equipment replacement.
- Signage for extinguishing equipment.
- Management and documentation of the inspections carried out.
Fire hose reels
They provide a water supply to tackle a fire from within the building itself. Correct installation and maintenance are what guarantee the system is available and operational when it is needed.
- Supply and installation of fire hose reels.
- Inspection of their general condition.
- Checking of hoses, valves, nozzles and other components.
- System operation checks.
- Periodic maintenance.
- Replacement of worn components.
- Statutory periodic testing where applicable.
- Upgrading of existing installations.
- Documentation of the maintenance carried out.
Photoluminescent signage
In an emergency you have to be able to locate the equipment and identify the exits immediately. Photoluminescent signs stay visible in low light or during a power failure, and are used to identify:
- Extinguishers.
- Hose reels.
- Manual call points.
- Fire protection equipment and facilities.
- Exits and escape routes.
- Emergency exits.
We supply and install signage matched to each installation, and inspect existing signage to replace anything damaged or that has lost its properties.
Maintenance of extinguishers and hose reels
Fire protection equipment has to be properly maintained throughout its service life. An installation that has the equipment but does not carry out the corresponding inspections can end up with parts that are worn or that fail to respond properly when they are needed.
That is why at Sercoin we carry out the periodic maintenance of extinguishers, hose reels and other fire protection systems, performing the checks and operations that apply to each type of equipment.
We can take charge of managing that maintenance on a recurring basis, so your equipment stays inspected, identified and with its paperwork up to date.
If an inspection reveals a problem, wear or the need for an upgrade, our team can advise you on the work required to resolve it.
Need to bring your fire equipment up to date?
Beyond new installations, at Sercoin we can inspect the fire protection systems already in place in your building, business or premises.
We check the condition of extinguishers, hose reels and signage, identify any shortcomings and help you carry out the work needed to bring the installation up to standard.
We can also help with the compliance and documentation of fire protection installations, and with keeping your equipment properly inspected and certified for inspections, audits and insurers' requirements.
That way you can centralise the installation, maintenance and follow-up of your fire protection equipment with Sercoin.
Your fire protection maintenance, in specialist hands
Having the right equipment installed is only the first step. For a fire protection system to do its job it has to be kept in order, with the periodic inspections and work it requires.
