Frequently Asked Questions
- According to NFPA, the advantages of installing working residential fire sprinklers are as follows:
-
- Residential fire sprinklers can control fires 96% of the time.
- People with residential fire sprinklers are 81% less likely to die in a house fire.
- Property damage is reduced by about 70% where fire sprinklers are installed.
- You don't need building regulations permission to install a fire sprinkler system but if you are making any structural changes to your property, for example, building a new house or having a loft conversion, your home must comply with building regulation fire safety requirements. Therefore, it is likely that the Building Control Officer will insist on a fully working and compliant domestic Fire Sprinkler System in order to protect fire escape routes.
The installation of a domestic fire sprinkler system will vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. It is more competitive to have it installed whilst building works are taking place and will be less intrusive. Prices start from around £1900 + vat for a simple system design, however, in the event of low incoming water pressure, the installation requirements of a tank and pump system will increase the investment.
