Notes on residential sprinkler compliance.

Plain-English guides for the people responsible for buildings: fire sprinkler maintenance, BS 9251 and BS EN 12845 compliance, and what to do when something on your system does not look right.

The first articles are being written now and will be published here and on our LinkedIn page. In the meantime, the questions we are asked most often already have full answers on our FAQ page.

Coming first

• How often does a sprinkler system need servicing, and what does BS 9251 actually ask for?
• Who is responsible for fire sprinkler compliance in a block of flats?
• What a sprinkler service engineer checks that a checklist does not show.
• Wet and dry sprinkler systems, and why unheated spaces are where systems fail.
• What to do when a sprinkler head has been painted over, knocked or boxed in.
