Frequently Asked Questions
• What are the best fireworks to buy?
We’ve got a fantastic selection of rockets, roman candles, ready-made display packs – in fact, everything you need to put on a safe and spectacular show. The best fireworks are right here for you! Even if you decide not to buy from us, always use a reputable supplier that is licensed to sell fireworks all year round.
• What do the categories and classes of fireworks mean?
There are four divisions which fireworks fall under, which relates to type of item, level of hazard, net explosive content and noise level.
Category 1 or F1 Fireworks, are fireworks which are intended for use in confined areas, including fireworks which are intended for use inside domestic buildings (i.e. indoor fireworks).
Category 2 or F2 Fireworks are fireworks which are intended for outdoor use (i.e. garden fireworks) and can have a minimum safety distance for operators of 8 metres, and spectators between 8 and 20 metres.
Category 3 or F3 Fireworks are fireworks, which are intended for outdoor use in large open areas (i.e. display fireworks for open areas such as fields) and can have a minimum safety distance of 15 metres for operators and 25 metres for spectators.
Category 4 or F4 Fireworks are not available to members of the public and are for use by persons with specialist knowledge (i.e. professional firework companies).
• What if it rains?
If the weather is inclement, we recommend using plastic bags or clingfilm to protect your fireworks from the wet – especially if you are setting up sometime before firing. Cakes, fountains and roman candles will easily fire through a layer of plastic, but we recommend uncovering wheels and rockets before you fire them.
