The extinguisher is looking good! It is mounted on the wall, ready for action.
Great team. Even during this Covid catastrophe Andrew kept me informed about where my extinguisher was and when it would arrive. Feels much safer having it in the house. Will be recommending to friends and whanau.
The x2 extinguishers arrived safely. One had busted its box but was okay. I anticipated that there would be a frame to mount them at the entrance to the hall but these were not included. What can be done about this please?
Good price, easy to find on the website, fast delivery.
