Fire Protection Services Scotland – Trusted, Experienced & Family-Run

Welcome to 1st Choice Fire Protection Services Scotland, a family-run business based in the scenic Scottish Borders. Since 2004, we’ve proudly delivered reliable fire protection services that you can trust – combining hands-on expertise with genuine care.

Thanks to over 20 years of experience, we understand how to keep workplaces, estates, schools and much more safe, compliant, and prepared. Whether you need fire extinguisher maintenance, certified risk assessments, hands on training or fire safety equipment, we’re here to help protect what matters most.

Our Story

A Local Business Built on Trust and Service

Our journey began with a simple goal: to help organisations stay safe without the jargon or hard sell. Over time, what started as a small operation has grown into a respected name in fire protection services in Scotland – supporting everything from local shops to large enterprises.

In addition to our experience, we offer a full suite of services, including portable extinguisher servicing, tailored fire safety equipment, and certified fire risk assessments. Moreover, every site survey is free with no obligations attached – designed to identify exactly what your premises need, whether that’s top-of-the-market equipment, expert advice, or ongoing support that meets the relevant health and safety regulations.

Why Our Fire Protection Services in Scotland Stand Out

Personal Service, Professional Standards

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Since no two businesses are alike, we tailor our services to meet your specific needs. Furthermore, site surveys are always free and come with no obligations – designed to pinpoint exactly what your workplace requires.

As proud members of the UK Fire Association, we hold ourselves to the highest safety standards. Consequently, our clients receive the right tools, expert guidance, and ongoing support to stay protected.

Importantly, we’re still run by the same family that founded the company. Our values reflect personal accountability, long-term relationships, and a commitment to doing things properly. In short, we’re not just service providers – we’re partners in your safety.
