Fire sprinkler contractor covering England from Kettering
We work across England, from Kettering.
Sentry Sprinkler Protection is based in Kettering. The ring on the map is a hundred miles in every direction from the yard, and that is where the everyday work is: the Midlands, the Home Counties, East Anglia and the capital. Every town on it is one we work in, and the survey is free inside it. For a project worth the journey, ask us anywhere in England.

The towns we work in most
Straight-line miles from our yard in Kettering, so a road journey runs a little longer. Nothing here carries a travel charge. Each town has its own page.
Northamptonshire and the county border
The half hour radius. Most of our maintenance rounds sit here, so a call from one of these towns usually gets an engineer soonest.
The wider coverage
Planned installation, servicing contracts and call-out all run to these, on the same terms and with no travel charge added afterwards.
Not listed? The radius covers a great deal more than the towns named here. Ask about your building and you will get a straight yes or no.
What being inside the radius gets you
A survey at no cost, anywhere in it
We come and look at the building before quoting. There is no survey fee and no obligation, and the distance does not change that. A quote written from a drawing is a guess, and guesses get revised upwards once the engineer arrives.
A fixed price with the travel already in it
The figure we put in writing is the figure you pay. Mileage, congestion charge and parking are our problem, not a line added to the invoice afterwards.
Out of hours cover across the whole area
Testing a riser or running a pump disrupts a building that is occupied, so most of this work happens outside working hours. The emergency line answers at any hour, any day of the year.
One contractor for a portfolio
If you hold sites in more than one of these towns, they can sit on a single schedule with one set of certificates and one renewal date, rather than four local contractors and four different record formats.
What we do once we are there
The same seven services in every town on the map, on the same terms. Each has its own page with the intervals and what a visit includes.

Questions about coverage
Do you cover my building if it is not on the list?
Almost certainly. The list names the towns we are in most weeks, not the limit of where we go. We work across England from Kettering, so if your building is not on the map, ring and ask rather than guessing.
Is there a travel charge for the further towns?
No. The survey is free inside the ring on the map, and the price we put in writing afterwards is the price, with travel absorbed. A building in London is quoted the same way as one in Kettering. Further out, ask and we will tell you where we stand before anybody books a day.
How quickly can you get to an emergency?
The office is on the phone Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm. Outside those hours the same number reaches our emergency line, which is for genuine emergencies rather than ordinary enquiries: a discharging head, a leaking main, a pump that will not start, a riser that has failed its test. How fast an engineer reaches you depends on where the building is and what has failed, so we tell you a realistic time on the call rather than a headline figure. Nothing on this site promises a response time we have not agreed with you.
How far outside the ring will you actually go?
Across England for work worth the journey, and the ring on the map is where the everyday servicing rounds are rather than a boundary. The one thing we will not do is take on a maintenance contract we cannot reach quickly when something fails, so if that is the risk we will say so on the call rather than after you have signed.
Tell us the building. We will tell you what it is due.
No survey fee to find out where you stand. Describe the site and we will tell you which intervals apply and what the visit involves.
