Sprinkler installation in Birmingham usually starts with one of three things: a new residential or build-to-rent tower, an industrial or logistics unit changing use, or an insurer asking for protection the building does not have. We design, install and commission fire sprinkler systems to BS EN 12845 and BS 9251, and hand over the drawings and certificates that prove them. Sentry Sprinkler Protection does this work across England from its base in Kettering, ISO 9001 certified.

Residential towers

New blocks of flats above 11 metres are expected to have sprinklers under Approved Document B, normally BS 9251 in the flats, alongside a dry or wet riser. We design the sprinklers to work with the riser and the fire strategy rather than around them.

Industrial and logistics units

On the manufacturing and logistics estates around the city, the insurer usually sets the requirement rather than Building Regulations. Storage height and the goods stored decide the design, so a racking change can mean a redesign rather than a few extra heads.

From survey to handover

  • A free survey of the building, the water supply and what the insurer or the fire strategy requires.
  • A design and a fixed price in writing.
  • Installation planned around your programme or your tenants.
  • Flushing, pressure and flow tests and commissioning, then drawings and certificates at handover.

After handover

A new system needs servicing from the day it is commissioned. We can carry that on, on the same schedule as any riser in the building, or hand the records to whoever will.

Questions about sprinkler installation in birmingham

Are you a sprinkler installation company that covers all of Birmingham?

Yes. Birmingham is 49 miles from our base in Kettering, and installation is planned well ahead, so the distance makes no difference to the programme.

Which standard will our Birmingham system be designed to?

Commercial and industrial buildings are normally BS EN 12845, and residential parts BS 9251. Your fire strategy and your insurer confirm which applies, and we design to that.

Will we need a sprinkler tank and pump?

Only if the mains cannot deliver the flow and pressure the design needs. The supply is tested during the survey, and the answer goes in the written quotation.
