Types of Sprinkler Systems We Provide
Wet Pipe Systems
The most common and reliable type, these systems contain water under pressure at all times, ready for immediate discharge when a sprinkler head activates due to heat.
Dry Pipe Systems
Ideal for unheated areas where freezing is a concern, these systems contain pressurised air in the pipes until activation, when water flows into the system.
Pre-action Systems
Perfect for areas where accidental water discharge must be prevented, these systems require dual detection before water enters the pipework.
Deluge Systems
Designed for high-hazard areas, these systems activate all sprinklers simultaneously for maximum water coverage when a fire is detected.
Residential Systems
Specifically designed for homes and apartment buildings, these systems use specialised sprinkler heads and are designed to BS 9251 standards.
Legal Requirements for Sprinkler Systems in Buckinghamshire
Building regulations increasingly require automatic fire suppression systems in many types of buildings. In particular:
- New residential buildings over 11 metres in height
- Schools and educational facilities
- Care homes and similar premises
- Large retail developments
- Warehouse and storage facilities
- High-risk industrial premises
Our fire safety experts help you navigate these legal requirements with confidence, ensuring your system meets all current regulations and standards.
Common Myths About Sprinkler Systems
Myth: “All sprinklers activate at once”
Reality: Only sprinklers directly affected by heat activate, typically just 1-2 heads.
Myth: “Water damage is worse than fire damage”
Reality: Sprinklers use 1/10th the water of firefighter hoses and target only the fire area.
Myth: “Sprinklers activate by smoke”
Reality: Sprinklers activate only when ambient temperature reaches 68-74°C, not from smoke.
Myth: “Sprinklers are unsightly”
Reality: Modern concealed and recessed heads are barely noticeable in most environments.
Myth: “Sprinklers are prohibitively expensive”
Reality: Installation costs typically represent just 1-2% of total building costs, with significant insurance savings offsetting the investment.
