Domestic Mist Fire Suppression Sprinkler Systems

Residential fires present a significant threat to life, stemming not only from the danger of flames but also from the risks associated with smoke and gas inhalation. Rapid fire suppression is essential in reducing exposure to heat, smoke and toxic gases. It safeguards lives and minimises damage to a property’s content and structure.

Automatic mist suppression systems, activated by heat and smoke detection, offer advanced fire protection for both new builds and retrofit projects. These high-pressure systems release a fine mist of tiny water droplets that suppress fires and reduce smoke and gas build-up. This provides vital time for safe evacuation and cleaner air for vulnerable, less mobile occupants.

A domestic water mist system can be fitted into an existing, occupied home as well as a new build. The compact pump is stored discreetly out of sight, and because the system pressurises and pumps the water itself, it works in properties with low water flow and pressure without a water storage tank. There is no need to find room for a large tank.

Every retrofit starts with a detailed survey of the rooms, layout and water supply, and we design the system around what we find. Our customers include housing associations, local authorities, landlords, care providers and homeowners. If you are weighing up the options, our guide to water mist vs sprinklers compares the two.

We design our domestic mist fire suppression systems to meet BS 8458, the British Standard for residential water mist systems, and we work closely with building control so that every installation meets current legislation.

In Wales, all new and converted houses and flats have needed an automatic fire suppression system since January 2016. For developers and landlords building or converting homes in North Wales, that makes suppression part of the design from the start. For more detail, see our page on domestic sprinkler systems and building regulations.

Once installed, the system runs an automatic self-test every month and alerts you to any faults. We recommend an annual service to keep it in optimal condition.

We price every domestic mist fire suppression system individually, because no two homes need the same design. After the survey, your quote reflects:

• the number of rooms to be protected and the number of nozzles the design needs
• the layout and construction of the property
• whether the system is going into a new build or being retrofitted into an occupied home
• the water supply at the property
• servicing after installation

Because we design, supply, install and maintain the system ourselves, the quote covers the complete installation, not just the equipment. Contact us to arrange a survey.
