It’s been a pleasure working with you, and you have done everything you said on the tin. We have realised that sprinklers open up many design options to us especially with the removal of walls in properties so we will definitely be in touch in the future.

Thanks to Nationwide Fire for all the help in resolving a non compliant sprinkler installation and helping us to make the homeowner see that his installation was done badly.

Chris Bell, Hertfordshire LABC


November 2011

Our installers were superb. Arrived at 8 am on the dot and worked well and efficiently around our own builders all of the 2 days. They were also good humoured and explained the functions of all aspects of the system.
Excellent service all round from 1st phone call to to final testing.

I have worked with Tristan Rhodes of Nationwide – Fire on two occasions. Our projects were to provide Urgent Operational Requirements capability to the Royal Navy where deadlines could not be missed and full attention to the details of the Naval specification were essential.

Tristan provided us with outstanding service on both occasions to provide bespoke systems with very atypical attributes. His efforts to research all potential leads to reach a finally acceptable solution went far beyond our commercial expectations. Nationwide-Fire met all of their commitments, always delivered on their promises and could be entirely relied upon to do what they said they would.

Their design and installation services were first rate, and test and certification documents were accurate and provided in timely manner. My experience of their service is first class and I would recommend them without hesitation.

Having never worked with Nationwide Fire Sprinklers Ltd previously, you can be nervous when employing a new supplier. Even with the nature of working on a listed building and with English Heritage, the technical assistance and general levels of customer care provided by Nationwide have removed these nerves.

This was enhanced further when the Engineers arrived on site. Matt and Ian worked diligently and carefully, and in communication with all other trades, which was like a ‘breath of fresh air’. They are a credit to Nationwide.”

I visited Fir Tree Road yesterday with the local Fire Officer, he was very happy with our progress and please to see we were almost completed. Speaking with the Monique the Home Manager she was very happy with your staff who seem to have been very polite and went out of their way to work round the homes needs. So on behalf of everyone at the home and myself thank you for all your work and input to date.

Dear Sirs,
The engineers were here yesterday ( Mick and Dave I think) and I am pleased to say  they did a good job. I was impressed with their hard work and they managed to work through the problems they encountered as best as possible.

I would prefer it if Mick and Dave could come back themselves to commission the installation as they seem very competent and know the job now.
Regards

Mr O. T. Ward

I should say that it's been a great company to work with . It was a lovely change to deal with such professional and responsive individuals. I think it's important to say this as it is rare to get such good customer service.

We are very pleased with the sprinkler system, and with the service you have provided both personally when installing and the helpfulness of your accounts department.

I would happily recommend your company to anyone.

December 2009

Your engineers were extremely helpful and professional and a credit to your company, especially as there was a problem with the water supply installation caused by the water authority and your engineers worked late to sort the problem so that the system could be completed.

Also the installation team that completed the first fix were very helpful and neat, and explained things well. All engineers involved are a credit to the company, and I am very pleased with the service I have received.

P.H.


November 2009

Thank you so much for this ! I have spent ages, including around a 2 hour meeting with planning, trying to get them to accept my proposal and they would not. They seemed to acknowledge my interpretation of the relevant statutes and regulations ( I am a barrister and so I had researched the issue myself) but were still refusing to agree without an expert's report. I am hoping this will do the trick !

I am forwarding it to the building regs officer and as soon as I have agreement I will be in touch to commission you.

Once again, thank you !

October 2009

When I visited the latest of our care homes  you have just completed installing sprinklers at, I was so impressed with how neat and tidy the engineers had been. I had to ask where the pipes to the property had been laid in the ground outside as the reinstatement was so good. The staff were very impressed by the workmen and had nothing but praise for your company. As owners of over 150 care homes we will be using your company as we roll out a programme of sprinkler protecting most of them.

Nigel K - Property Portfolio Manager, major national care home facility provider

Thank you for the nice installation work your engineers did on our major housing project here in Helston. They were very neat and the job has gone well.

Thank you for carrying out the work at Belper so promptly and  I understand from the builder on site that all went well on the day I must say, you have been extremely easy to deal with, and it has been a pleasure working with you.

July 2009

I wish I’d telephoned you two hours ago as you have answered all my questions in one 10 minute call. I had wasted so much time trying in vain to get the right information. Your technical expertise is exactly what I needed to hear.

Thank you for the technical presentation you delivered at our regional NHBC offices. We found the information you gave us to be exactly what we needed to know. Our inspectors will now be able to better understand the calculations and requirements of the British Standard D C .

May 2009

Thanks for taking the time to take my call the other day to discuss our proposed installation. We are 4 to 6 weeks away form needing sprinklers and we will be asking your company to do the work especially with your in house innovations like the triangular tanks you sell exclusively for fitting into roof eaves in loft conversions.

J T home owner


April 2009

Thanks for helping me out with our project. We got our plumber to install sprinklers but when he realised that he had no qualifications to support his claim that the sprinklers would work the building control officer refused to accept his installation. This is probably why we cannot get hold of him and he will not answer our calls or letters. As discussed we will need you to replace the sprinklers and pipe and start again.

A B home owner.

"Thank you Lesley. A professional service as ever from Nationwide."

Feb 2009

Thanks for delivering on this project so quickly and progressing the work so efficiently. As you know the project was a most urgent requirement for an existing theatre of warfare and our mission has gone extremely well.

Your company’s input has greatly contributed to our success and your senior engineer who worked with us was so attentive and proactive. The Ministry are delighted with the product and are placing orders for a much larger run of the product. Our success will be shared with your company as we continue to work together.

Just dropping you a line to say that I was really impressed with Mick, he worked very very hard and was extremely polite and conscientious throughout.

Nov 2008

Thank you for your email and prior quotation. The project is currently pre-tender stage but it was important for us to obtain a feel for the cost of a domestic sprinkler system and we are still looking to install a system.

Whilst it will depend a little on an agreed fire strategy with building control, due to your efforts, we will look to specify your company and system in our tender documentation.

Nearly everywhere I go (at least, doing talks for BAFSA) I'm getting good reports about Nationwide Fire Sprinklers Ltd.

These have come from building control people, customers and other building professionals. The latest one was re a project in Carlisle.

Keep up the good work!

If all our building work had been so easy to organise, so clearly quoted, so fast and so flexible, we would be very happy customers indeed!

Well done Nationwide - a lot of other companies could learn from your effective time management, excellent customer service and efficient onsite team.

Further to a conversation with an extremely efficient young lady in your office I attach hereto initial plans for a proposed terrace of 5 No 3 bed houses for a quotation.

Nov 2007

Firstly, may I complement your engineers for a truly professional job.

Whilst on-site they were polite, respectful of our home, tidy and pleasant and I would have no hesitation in recommending Nationwide to anybody who is looking to have a sprinkler system installed.

My first thought when we were told that we needed a sprinkler system installing was one of mess, pipes, re-decoration, water and sprinkler heads. How far from the truth this was, the job has progressed with minimal upheaval of our home and I thank you for that.

Thanks
Allan


Oct 2007

“Thanks for taking on this job for us at short notice. The local sprinkler company gave us a much lower price than you and the other firm but they just never showed up despite repeated promises and we are now in delay on our contract.

In the end we see it is better to use a more professional company who we can trust”

Coryn, Tyne and Wear


Sep 2007

My loft conversion specialist and my building control officer have spent months trying to sort out how to overcome our problems and the job has been at a standstill. In the end they asked me to look into options and I am so glad I came across your company.

In 15 minutes you have sorted out how to complete our loft conversion and I have learnt more about fire sprinklers by talking to you than all of our builders and council officers put together. Thanks for all your good advice.

John from London


Aug 2007

Many thanks for your prompt response. I will get together some drawings and investigate the water supply and get back to you soon.

Thanks for your informative call earlier today. I confirm that we are interested in the installation of a complete system for the address given above.

“thank you for your quotation of £15800 for the apartments. We had another quote from a company in Scotland which was £73,000 so we expect our client will be selecting you for this small project!” From Jonathon in Wales

March 2007

Many thanks for your reply. I have to say it is a breath of fresh air that such a company as yours are able to provide a quick and detailed response as you have. Many are too quick just to provide bare bones info and then answer questions as they arise. I will be sure to pass your info onto the Client and will let you know of any comments or questions they may have. In the meantime, I am happy to keep you in mind for any other projects that may be suitable for this type of system.

Once again, thank you for your time and I will be in touch soon. Kind regards - Alistair - Architects and Designers
