Fire Sprinklers
At Element Fire & Security, we design, install, and maintain high-performance fire sprinkler systems to protect lives, property, and business continuity. Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial premises, our sprinkler solutions provide automatic fire suppression that activates immediately, containing fires before they spread.
Sprinkler System Design & Installation
Our expert team will assess your building’s layout and fire risks to design a bespoke sprinkler system that meets British Standards (BS EN 12845 / BS 9251) and industry best practices. We install systems suitable for domestic, commercial, and high-risk environments.
Regular Servicing & Testing
Like all fire protection systems, sprinklers must be regularly tested and maintained to ensure full functionality. We offer scheduled inspections, testing of control valves, pump systems, alarms, and flow switches, keeping your system reliable and compliant.
System Upgrades & Modifications
If your premises change layout or purpose, we can adapt or upgrade your existing sprinkler system accordingly, ensuring it continues to offer the right level of protection.
Emergency Support & Repairs
Should a fault occur or your system activate, our team is available for urgent call-outs to investigate, repair, or reset your sprinkler system, minimising downtime and disruption.
Why Are Fire Sprinklers Important?
Fire sprinkler systems are one of the most effective ways to control and suppress fires before they become life-threatening. Activated by heat, not smoke, they respond immediately—targeting the fire directly and reducing its spread, damage, and risk to occupants.
In commercial and residential settings alike, sprinklers dramatically increase survival rates and minimise property loss. According to industry data, buildings fitted with sprinklers see up to 90% fewer fire-related fatalities and significantly lower repair costs after a fire.
What does our maintenance service include?
Our maintenance includes checks on sprinkler heads, control valves, pressure gauges, alarm systems, water supplies, and pumps. We also carry out flow tests, functional testing, and provide a full service report for compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a fire sprinkler system in my building?
It depends on the type and use of the building. While not legally required in all properties, sprinklers are mandatory in many high-rise residential buildings, schools, care homes, and large commercial or industrial sites. They are also highly recommended for enhanced fire protection and insurance benefits.
How often should sprinkler systems be serviced?
Sprinkler systems should be professionally inspected and maintained at least annually, with certain components (like pumps and valves) requiring more frequent checks, depending on the system type and usage.
Do sprinkler systems require a separate water supply?
Not always. Some systems use the building’s main water supply, while others may require a dedicated tank and pump, depending on the system size and design.
