Campervan Fire & CO Safety Specialists

Installing safety gear seems straightforward. You buy an alarm and an extinguisher. The reality is that professional installation prevents critical, often unseen, mistakes. A specialist understands airflow and gas behaviour inside a small, insulated space, ensuring a carbon monoxide alarm is placed correctly relative to your heater and sleeping area—not just stuck on the nearest wall. They also select the right type of fire extinguisher for your specific risks, whether it's a lithium battery bank or a propane hob, and mount it securely so it won't become a dangerous projectile in a collision. In practice, a pro install means your safety equipment is located intuitively and functions correctly even when you are disoriented by smoke or fumes, a benefit that is impossible to value until the moment you need it.

When vetting a specialist, ask about their experience with your specific van model and heating system. A good fitter can explain precisely why they recommend a certain location for a smoke alarm or CO detector, referencing BS EN 50291 standards for alarms and BS EN3 for extinguishers. They should discuss the different fire suppression needs for campervan gas systems, diesel, and electrical systems. A major red flag is a one-size-fits-all quote without first understanding your layout and appliances. For most builds, a comprehensive safety installation, including hard-wired alarms and extinguisher mounting, should take between a few hours and a full day. Expect to pay between £150 and £400 for a professional to supply and fit high-quality smoke, CO, and fire safety equipment.
