Great service from Rob @ Onguard, started using 12months ago in our retail premises, from the inital call Rob attended and recommended what we required and arranged for these to be installed. 12 months on I had an email saying that they needed servicing which was efficient and a good price. Recommend 100% for any business looking for fire extinguishers.

As a family-run care home based in Coventry, we found that a previous supplier was becoming increasingly more expensive. We find that since using on-guard, we've kept our costs down but have not lost any quality, in fact, I would say the quality of their work is much higher than our previous supplier. Friendly, professional service who doesn't over charge. Perfect for us as a small business. Thank You!
