What We Do
We design, supply, install, commission and maintain a variety of Fire Suppression Systems to the recognised standards including BS EN, BS, NFPA and FM.
We cover the whole of the UK and Europe, from our 3 main offices in Ascot, Birmingham and Manchester.
We take into full consideration BS 9991:2015 and BS 9999:2017 which relate to Fire Safety Design within different occupant buildings.
For any Fire Suppression System enquiries please email us at sales@hkfire.co.uk
Sprinkler Systems
At Hall & Kay within the UK, we work to two main standards.
BS EN 12845:2015 is mainly used for Commercial and Industrial properties, with Hazard Classifications ranging from Light Hazard to Extra High Hazard.
BS 9251:2014 is used for Residential and Domestic Properties, ranging from Houses to High Rise Apartment Blocks.
Common Types of System
- Wet – These systems are charged with water at all times, and are the most commonly used.
- Dry – These are appropriate for applications either where there is a danger of the water in the pipework freezing, or where there may be temperatures of above 70°c.
- Pre-Action – This is a dry-pipe system, which is linked to an automatic fire detection system protecting the same area. This is generally used in areas which could be damaged by water, such as electrical rooms or computer suites.
Wet & Dry Riser Systems
These are systems of pipework and valves, which are often found within high-rise buildings over 18m in height, which allows fire fighting water to be easily delivered to all floors.
Dry Risers are installed in buildings under 50m in height, and Wet Risers are installed in buildings over 50m in height, or less if the access to the building by Fire Services is insufficient.
Mist
We design, supply, install, test & commission Low Pressure Water Mist Systems to the two British Standards.
- BS 8458:2015 – Residential & Domestic Watermist Systems
- BS 8489:2016 – Industrial & Commercial Watermist Systems
