FAQs About Our Fire Sprinklers

Yes. We offer personal site surveys, which are especially valuable when retrofitting a fire sprinkler system or when a project has reached the later stages of development and a Building Control or Insurer requirement has been made.

Yes. We also offer a desktop survey option, during which we can review your requirements and any drawings you may have. This helps us determine the best, most cost-effective, and compliant approach for your property and individual needs.

A personal site survey is preferred in most cases because it allows us to spot potential planning or coordination issues with other trades early on. This helps ensure a smoother installation or service.

Every new Fire Sprinkler System Installation is designed using Autodesk AutoCAD or Revit software, with hydraulic calculations carried out by Canute Fire Hydraulic Calculation (FHC) to ensure compliance and system reliability.

We provide a complete Fire Sprinkler service from start to finish, including system design, supply, installation, commissioning, and client handover training.

Yes. After your Fire Sprinkler System Installation, we supply all relevant testing and completion certificates along with full Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals. These are delivered both on-site and electronically, so you always have a secure copy available.

We take a straight-talking, no-nonsense approach, ensuring all parties and trades involved in your project are aware of our Fire Sprinkler Systems and any potential compatibility issues with the pipework – particularly those involving Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) pipework and fire-stopping chemicals.

If Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) compatibility is a concern, we can install copper pipe as an alternative to ensure smooth project management and a reliable Fire Sprinkler System.

We provide Commercial, Residential & Domestic Fire Sprinkler Systems, Wet & Dry Risers, Fire Hydrants, Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems, and Fire Extinguishers across the South West, including Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Torquay, Exeter, Plymouth, and Bristol.

As your top choice for local, skilled, and trained engineers and technical in-house designers, we serve Devon and the neighbouring counties to ensure reliability and consistency in our commitments to you and your project team. If our engineers need extra materials to accommodate a variation or address a site issue, we have the flexibility and resources to supply them or provide additional support at short notice.

Most of our competitors operate outside the South West. They often rely on a pool of subcontractors for larger projects, but from much further afield. Their site management can become stretched due to their locations, and they may prefer remote video meetings to solve site problems, which doesn’t actually work.

Not only can we assist you with your Fire Sprinkler System needs – we have also been working on securing trade agreements for the supply, installation, and maintenance of Fire Extinguishers and Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems. This ensures we can meet your broader fire protection requirements and provide the convenience of managing your project or assets through a single fire protection solutions provider.
