Fire Sprinklers are an essential component of any residential building’s fire protection system and have been used since the 19th century. They’re installed in walls or ceilings and pressurised water is sprayed out when a fire is detected.

Sprinklers form part of both a Fire Suppression and Fire Detection system and work to actively control any fire. Installing fire sprinklers buys you and your residents valuable time when evacuating a residential building due to fire and it also controls the extent of the damage a fire causes.

Fire Sprinkler systems can be active for the lifetime of a building if they are properly maintained without full replacement. In fact, systems installed in a century ago are still operational today!

With effective maintenance they are a very cost-effective and efficient investment for your fire protection.

Absolutely. We recommend that you connect your residential sprinkler system to our in-house dedicated Alarm Receiving Centre. We have a team of specially trained experts who react rapidly to fire related alarms, contact the fire service on your behalf when sprinklers are activated, get them to your fire as quickly as possible and once the fire is extinguished, can even stop the sprinkler system to stem water damage.

We offer monitoring packages for all your fire related alarm systems, read more about our monitoring services here

We recommend that all Residential buildings – such as care homes and social housing – should have fire sprinkler systems installed. We provide a robust residential fire sprinkler design and installation service for new buildings, however we can also retrofit existing buildings to make them safe and compliant even AFTER they have been built using the innovation Pendock Boxing system, which offers a professional and neat finish to any works.

Residential fire sprinkler systems should be fitted in:

• Social housing
• Care homes
• Student accommodation
• Nursing homes
• Prisons
• Boarding houses
• Houses of multiple occupancy (HMOs)

If your objective is to safeguard people’s lives and the property you are responsible for, then Residential Fire Sprinklers could be the addition you need in your existing fire protection arsenal.

The installation of Fire Sprinkler systems:

• significantly improves chances of survival in a fire
• reduces fire injuries by at least 80%
• reduces property damage by 90%
• substantially reduces the damage to the environment
• potentially reduces your insurance premiums

Sprinkler systems installed in residential buildings save lives – that is reason enough alone to invest in them as they buy valuable time for residents and vulnerable residents to evacuate to safety in the event of a fire.

There are other benefits – such as extinguishing and controlling fires from spreading, reducing the cost of fire damage, safeguarding property and in some cases, even reducing insurance premiums.

If you’re looking to partner with a team who are dedicated to saving people, property and possessions, you’ve found the team to work with. With in-house technical experts to assist from an initial design of projects from Social Housing, to Student Accommodation, Residential Blocks, Residential Care and Nursing Homes, we also offer installation and sprinkler maintenance to your existing systems.
