Simple but effective, sprinklers have been used for around 200 years. According to statistics, no person has lost their life to fire in the UK where Sprinklers have been installed.

An expansion tank is a safety device used in closed water heating systems such as a when a calorifier is used on a boat. It will absorb excess water pressure, which can be caused by thermal expansion as water is heated, or by water hammer

We offer installation and maintenance of all types of sprinklers, valve sets and pumps to LPC standards and BS EN 12845.

Dry risers (otherwise known as fire mains) are used in buildings over 18m in height. They assist the Fire Service by pumping water to landing valves located on every floor.

It's vital that dry risers are inspected and maintained on a regular basis as they can subject to neglect and in some cases vandalism. Be mindful of regulations - dry risers should be serviced twice a year and the hydraulic pressure should be tested at least once a year in accordance with BS 9990.

It comes pressurised to go with a surecal calorifier (this can be altered) a bracket for mounting, a stainless steel strap and a connection ready to go straight into plumbing for an easy installation.

Over this time we've grown in knowledge and expertise, focussing on supporting businesses with their compliance in a friendly yet efficient manner.

These tests are undertaken for both preventative maintenance and as part of installation or remedial work. We then issue an appropriate test certificate.

This will stop your water system being under unnecessary stress, wasting water through the pressure release valve and provide a great deal of safety!

The expansion tank should measure 10% of the calorifier capacity. I.e. the 2 litre expansion tank would work with the 10-22litre calorifier, the 5 litre expansion tank with the 30- 55 litre calorifiers and the 8 litre with the 55-75 litre calorifiers.

We also have specialist equipment to cut and re-thread sections of large diameter pipe or to fit collars to pin-hole leaks.

We are confident that we're able to provide our customers with a high level of professionalism and industry insight. Add to this our commitment to integrity, and when it comes to fire safety you can expect peace of mind unmatched by other suppliers.

Wet risers are used in structures over 60m high, typically with both pumps and water storage tanks situated on the roof. We can provide both design and installation of wet or dry systems.

It should be fitted after the thermostatic mixer valve on the calorifier but before the first outlet. It comes pre assembled with a connection ready to push straight into a plastic plumbing tee piece.

Our tanks come pre pressurised to go with the Surejust calorifier. If you need to change this then it should be set to a pressure above your pump pressure but below the pressure release valve cut out pressure. This is very important or the expansion tank wont work properly.

The Surejust expansion tank complements any hot water system and provides a safer and smother water system by minimisiung dripping from the pressure relief valve when the system heats up. It comes pre-assembled and the pressure is pre set for easy installation.
