Fire Sprinklers & Water Mist
Residential Sprinklers
We Design, Install and Maintain Fire Sprinklers to BS9251:2021 in the following types of properties: Houses, Flats, High rise tower blocks, Care homes, HMO’s and student accommodations.
When designing or installing a fire sprinkler system, we listen to your requirements and guide you through every step of the way. We understand the difficulties you face and therefore minimise the cost without compromising on safety by using innovative solutions.
For a free quotation contact us with as much information as you can. You will need to supply us with some drawings, any correspondence with building control or a fire strategy if available.
Once we have received your drawings we will be able to provide a quotation based on the following typical water supplies:
Mains
Fed
Direct from the water main, this is the most cost effective solution and would typically need to be a 50mm MDPE unmetered supply to provide the required flow/pressure.
Dedicated Pump
and Tank
A storage tank and booster pump to meet the requirements of the system. Tank sizes can vary depending on the system category and type of sprinkler heads used.
Shared Booster
Cold Water Supply
It is possible to share the domestic cold water supply which can be a very cost effective solution on larger projects. Please note the pump and tank would need to be sized adequately.
Design
To begin the design process; consideration and consultation with the AHJ will need to have taken place.Supply
Once a design has been agreed upon, we can then supply sprinkler heads, pipework and sprinkler control sets.Installation
Once sprinkler positions have been approved by the client, we can begin the installation of the sprinkler system.Maintenance
Fire sprinkler systems need to be serviced annually to ensure that they continue to operate correctly in line with BS9251:2021.
Residential Water Mist
Mist systems can be a viable alternative to fire sprinkler systems in residential properties.
Most importantly they use less water than traditional sprinklers which means less space is needed for a storage tank; furthermore, in the event of activation the water damage caused is reduced.
When considering alternative residential mist systems to others, it is important to make sure they hold the relevant testing documentation and meet BS8458:2015.
We are proud to be one of the few companies within the UK who are able to provide a fully compliant system that meets all criteria including:
Nozzles
Nozzles must be activated by a quick response thermal element.
Pipework
Pipework must be designed for use in fire protection systems.
System
System must have a pump that automatically tests monthly.
Using VID fire-kill mist technology we are able to design install and commission low pressure water mist systems that are Factory Mutual (FM) approved and meet compliance with BS8458:2015. FM approval is the independent testing arm of International Insurance carrier, FM Flobal. FM approvals use scientific research and testing to make sure products conform to the highest standards for safety and property loss prevention Our products have passed these tests and hold the “FM APPROVED” mark.
