We are the Watermist Retrofit Experts
Our high-pressure automatic fire suppression system (AFSS) has been inexpensively retrofitted in thousands of properties in the UK. The ease of installation means that it can be completed in as little as a day without major works, and making it the perfect retrofit fire suppression solution for both domestic and residential buildings.
Easy to Retrofit Fire Suppression System
Retrofitting a fire suppression system in an existing home is an important step to enhance safety, particularly in properties that have undergone changes such as loft conversions, extensions, or open-plan redesigns. A reliable suppression system protects occupants, supports safe evacuation, and provides the fire service with an immediate first line of defence.
As housing layouts and usage change over time, homeowners face new challenges in ensuring their properties remain compliant with building regulations and fire safety standards. Retrofitting a fire suppression system addresses these challenges effectively.
Cost-effective solution
Labour costs are reduced thanks to the flexible high-pressure hoses used by iMist™. The solution also minimises mess and eases concern and stress as installation can be completed while occupants are present.
Quick, Quiet Installations
The life-safety fire suppression system installation is quick, cost effective and avoids any unnecessary disruption to residents. We can work around your schedule and busy lifestyle.
Protected History
The UK is filled with stunning historical (often listed) properties with original architectural features making it essential to keep up with the latest fire safety and building regulations.
Why Would I Need To Retrofit a Fire Suppression System?
Changes to Property Use or Layout
- If you’ve converted a loft, basement, or garage, added an extension, or created open-plan living spaces, your home’s fire risk profile changes.
- Retrofitting a suppression system helps ensure new layouts remain safe and compliant with building regulations.
Upgrading Older Homes
- Older properties may lack modern fire protection, such as sprinklers or smoke compartmentation.
- Retrofitting gives you peace of mind that your home meets current fire safety standards, even if it wasn’t built with them in mind.
Protecting Vulnerable Occupants
- If there are children, elderly family members, or residents with limited mobility, early fire suppression is crucial.
- Retrofitting a system reduces fire spread, helping everyone evacuate safely.
Insurance and Compliance
- Some home insurance policies offer lower premiums or require active fire protection systems, particularly for larger properties.
- Retrofitting can improve compliance with insurance or local fire safety recommendations.
Minimising Property Damage
- Even a small fire can cause major damage to belongings and structure.
- Modern systems, like high-pressure water mist, suppress fires quickly while using less water than traditional sprinklers, reducing overall damage.
In short: Retrofitting a fire suppression system ensures your home is safer, compliant, and better protected against
fire, particularly if your property has changed, is older, or houses vulnerable occupants.
