FAQ's and Sprinkler Information

Q - If a fire starts do all the sprinklers set off?

A – No, only the sprinkler or sprinklers near to the heat source will activate, so in a normal sized bedroom if for example the computer caught fire (a common occurrence nowadays) the sprinkler in that room would activate but nowhere else.

Q – Does my smoke alarm set the sprinklers off as we are always setting them off when cooking?

A - Our fire sprinklers are activated by heat only and no amount of smoke will set them off. Typically temperatures of over 70 degree centigrade are needed to activate sprinkler heads so unless you apply extreme heat directly up at a sprinkler they will not go off accidentally

Q how disruptive is the installation of sprinklers in my home going to be?

A – Typically the installation process is just like fitting a central heating system. We need to lift floor boards at first floor level to run pipe work in the floor void to protect the ground floor below. We also need to get into the loft space and any upper floors to carry out this process. Installation takes three days unless you have a very large house or there are special circumstances.
