Why suppression matters

When you are trying to get building control approval or meet an insurance requirement, a suppression system can be the deciding factor. As with every area of active fire protection, it forms part of a bigger picture — not just compliance, but a genuinely fire-safe environment.

Activation during a real fire can dramatically limit damage. In many cases it means minimal production loss and minimal downtime, rather than weeks out of operation.

How we help

When planning an installation, the designer has to be aware of every option available. Our engineers and designers will recommend the right solution for your premises — and, just as importantly, know how it works alongside the other fire safety measures you already have or plan to put in.

We have over 20 years' experience working in partnership with businesses like yours to risk assess, plan and maintain the right fire safety solutions.

Typical applications

Server rooms and comms cabinets
Commercial kitchen extraction and cooking lines

Archive, storage and high-value stock areas
Sites where an insurer has made cover conditional

How suppression saves money

Four ways the system pays for itself over its life.

Reduced property damage

Early suppression prevents extensive damage to buildings and equipment, cutting repair and replacement costs.

Lower insurance premiums

Many insurers offer discounts for properties with suppression, because the risk of major fire damage drops.

Minimised downtime

Controlling a fire quickly avoids prolonged interruption, maintaining continuity and saving lost revenue.

Compliance savings

Meeting safety regulations avoids fines and legal costs, and smooths building control approval.

Suppression questions we get asked

It depends on what you are protecting. Water is effective and cheap but ruins electronics and paper. Gas suppresses without residue, which is why it is used in server rooms and archives. We survey the risk and recommend on that basis, not on what is easiest to fit.

It should — suppression is normally triggered by detection, and the two have to be designed to work together. That interface is one of the things most often got wrong, which is why we like to look at both.

Yes. Suppression systems are maintained on a planned schedule like any other life safety system, and the records form part of your fire safety file. We include it in your maintenance programme.

Send us what the insurer has specified and we will tell you what meets it. Getting this right first time is much cheaper than installing something that then has to be changed.
