2. How much does an average system cost? - Top
It depends on the number of storeys and layout of the living space as to the size of the system, although on average costs works out in the region of approx. £1,500.
In many cases this cost is offset by reducing the amount of structural work required to meet building regulations. e.g. fire doors, additional exits, fire protection of escape routes. - Updated: May 27, 2009
3. Where will the pipework run, will I be able to see it? - Top
We use light weight cPVC pipework which we can fit into the wall or ceiling cavities so you will not be able to see the pipework once it is in place. - Updated: May 28, 2009
4. Does the whole house need to be fitted with sprinklers? - Top
In most cases we can meet building regulations by fitting a partial system around the escape route. - Updated: May 27, 2009
5. What do I need to send you to get a quote? - Top
In most cases a floor plan or a good sketch with dimensions is all we need. - Updated: May 27, 2009
6. How much disruption will there be? - Top
Very little, we can usually fit a system while the building is still occupied - Updated: May 27, 2009
