Fire Suppression Systems London

Fire suppression systems are automatic systems fitted to a specific fire hazard, rather than covering a whole building. They detect a fire and extinguish it within seconds, using clean agents, CO₂, dry powder, foam or wet chemicals. In London, they are commonly used to protect:

• data centres and comms rooms
• switchgear and UPS cabinets
• bus, refuse and delivery fleets
• waste transfer plant

Most data centres use gaseous clean agent suppression, because it puts out fires without water or residue. Our systems use FK-5-1-12, which is non-conductive and safe for live IT equipment. They can protect individual racks with DLP systems or whole rooms with ILP systems, and they integrate with your BMS.

The type of fire suppression you need depends on the hazard:

• Data centres and server rooms: clean agent systems, which put out fires without water or residue.
• Individual switchgear, UPS or rack cabinets: a DLP system that discharges inside the enclosure itself, which suits tight plant rooms.
• Vehicles, machinery and mobile plant: dry powder, clean agents or foam.
• Industrial and storage areas: sprinklers, foam or dry chemicals.
• Commercial kitchens: wet chemical.

Yes. We fit automatic fire suppression to refuse collection vehicles, trucks and the mobile plant used at waste transfer and recycling sites. ILP systems protect engine compartments and hydraulics, where debris and heat build up, and discharge automatically without driver input.

Yes. Our automatic fire suppression systems need no external power, because they are activated by pressure loss in the detection tube. That makes them reliable for protecting UPS rooms, battery cabinets and backup equipment, where a fire might coincide with a power failure.

We began as heavy machinery operators who designed our own fire protection because existing suppliers didn’t understand our risks. We are:

• members of the Fire Industry Association (FIA)
• ISO 9001:2015 certified

All our products are designed, manufactured and tested at ISO 9001:2015-certified facilities, complying with safety standards, such as UNECE R-107 and UL (Underwriters Laboratories) Recognised Components.

You can book servicing for a date and time that suits you, which is important for data centres that can’t easily go offline or fleets that need minimal downtime to keep operations running.

Most fire suppression systems need a service once a year, or every 6 months where an insurer requires it.  This ensures adherence to regulations like BS EN 15004 or BS 5306, prolongs its lifespan, and enables early detection of issues.

Cost depends on the equipment or area protected, its size, the agent, and the number of detection and discharge points. A rack-level system for a comms room is a very different job from equipping a fleet of vehicles. Contact us or call 01392 691891 for a tailored quote.
