SPRINKLER SYSTEMS

Our sprinkler and fire alarm systems are independently verified and certified by fully trained 3rd party engineers for your peace of mind. We also offer a complete service to maintain your system as required after the 12 month guarantee period.
Modern sprinkler systems do not have to be intrusive, if there is space most systems can be discretely concealed as shown below.
Domestic Fire Safety (Wales) 2011 regulations
From the 1st January 2016, all new dwellings and some extensions and alterations in Wales will join care homes, Hostels etc. in requiring a sprinkler system designed and installed in accordance with BS 9251:2021
Concealed Sprinkler Head
When the concealed sprinkler head is exposed to heat from a fire, the cover plate falls away to expose the sprinkler assembly.
At this point the deflector supported by the arms drops down to its operating position. If the temperature continues to rise the sprinkler head is now ready to be activated.
