We design and install automatic fire sprinkler systems for all types of commercial premises — from small offices and retail units to large hotels, restaurants and mixed-use developments. Every system is engineered to BS EN 12845, the British and European Standard for fixed firefighting systems.

Warehouses, manufacturing & logistics
Industrial Fire Sprinkler Systems
Industrial buildings present some of the most demanding fire risk scenarios — high rack storage, flammable materials, large open floor areas. AB Fire designs robust suppression systems for warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centres and any high-hazard occupancy.

- Compliance with FM Global, LPC and insurance requirements
Apartments, HMOs & care homes
Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems
Residential fire sprinklers are increasingly required under building regulations, particularly in blocks of flats, houses in multiple occupation, student accommodation and care homes. We design systems to BS EN 12845 and BS 9251, working closely with architects, developers and building control.
Scope of Work
- Multi-storey apartment blocks and flatted developments
- Houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) to current guidance
- Student accommodation and supported living
- Care homes and extra-care sheltered housing
- Discreet concealed sprinkler heads available
Individual houses & flats
Domestic Fire Sprinkler Systems
Domestic sprinkler systems provide affordable, whole-home fire protection for individual houses and flats. They work from your existing mains water supply in most cases, require very little maintenance, and can be fitted unobtrusively alongside your normal plumbing and decoration.
Scope of Work
- Designed to BS 9251 for one- and two-family dwellings
- Works from standard mains supply in most properties
- Compatible with new-build and retrofit installations
- Concealed heads blend with any décor
- Quick to install — minimal disruption during works
Ongoing compliance and peace of mind

Scope of Work
- Annual and periodic inspections to BS EN 12845 / BS 9251
- Quarterly pump tests and flow tests
- Full inspection reports and defect rectification
