What are hose reels?

Fire hose reels are essential firefighting systems designed to provide a continuous and reliable flow of water during the early stages of a fire. Each unit consists of a circular drum that holds a hose with an adjustable nozzle, allowing users to control and direct water accurately. Hose reels are ideal for large or high-risk environments where fire extinguishers alone may not provide sufficient coverage.

How we can help.

Protect your people, property, and business. Here’s why we’re the right choice for hose reels.

Where hose reels are used

Hose reels are typically installed in buildings such as schools, hotels, warehouses, factories, theatres, car parks, and workshops. They are especially suited to large open areas or long corridors, offering quick and effective firefighting capability before the fire service arrives. Many insurers and fire certificates require them as part of an overall fire protection strategy.

Types of hose reels

Fire hose reels come in several configurations, including fixed, swinging, recessed, and concealed versions, with automatic or manual valves. The best option depends on the building layout, water supply, and access requirements. All designs are engineered for ease of use and rapid activation in an emergency.

Installation and supply

Our qualified engineers design and install complete hose reel systems, ensuring each unit is correctly positioned for maximum accessibility. We source high-quality, compliant equipment and connect each reel to the local water supply via a network of durable pipework. The result is a reliable system that integrates seamlessly with your overall fire protection plan.

Servicing and maintenance

Hose reels require annual servicing to ensure they operate correctly when needed. Routine inspections help prevent leaks, maintain water pressure, and confirm compliance with current fire safety standards. Regular testing also extends the lifespan of the equipment, guaranteeing performance and reliability year after year.

Tailored support and compliance

We provide ongoing maintenance contracts and support for hose reel systems in all types of commercial and industrial buildings. Our approach ensures every reel meets regulatory requirements and remains in full working order, giving you complete peace of mind that your fire protection systems are ready to perform.
