COMMERCIAL FIRE SUPPRESSION

Water mist fire suppression for business premises

From saunas and commercial kitchens to server rooms and care facilities — high-pressure water mist protects your premises, your people and your stock with far less water than sprinklers, and no disruptive tank.

WHY BUSINESSES CHOOSE MIST

Protection that keeps you trading

A fire is bad enough — the water damage and downtime that follow can be worse. Mist is built to limit both.

Protect stock and equipment

Up to 70% less water than sprinklers means a contained fire doesn’t ruin stock, fit-out and equipment.

Keep trading

A sprinkler-soaked shop or kitchen can be closed for weeks drying out and replacing stock. A mist-suppressed one can often reopen within days.

Frees up the plant room

Mains-fed systems mean no large storage tank competing for space with everything else your building needs to run.

Certified design

Designed and documented to the recognised water mist standards, ready for building control.

WHERE WE FIT IT

Built for commercial premises

Specialist sectors where water mist earns its place — and the broader premises we protect.

COMPLIANCE

Designed to the right standard

Water mist is covered by recognised British Standards — BS 8458 for residential and light commercial premises, and BS 8489 for larger commercial and industrial applications. BS 8458 was formally withdrawn in July 2025 and is being succeeded by BS EN 14972-17 — Scotland’s current building standards handbooks still cite BS 8458, so it remains the correct design standard today.

Commercial work is a genuine part of what we do, not an afterthought bolted onto a residential business. As a duty-holder you’re responsible for fire safety on your premises — a certified system supports your fire risk assessment, and wherever you are between the Highlands and the Solway, the survey, design and paperwork trail get the same attention either way.
