Client feedback:
What is a BS 9251 Category 1 system?
This is the simplest type of residential fire sprinkler system, designed for single-family dwellings and other low-risk buildings like small houses of multiple occupation (HMOs). These systems require a water supply to operate 1-2 sprinkler heads, typically have a flow rate of 60-100 litres per minute and need a 10-minute water supply stored in a tank of 1 to 1.5 cubic meters.
BS9251 – Category 2 System
Building type: Apartment Block
Location: Macclesfield, North West
Water Supplies: Boosted cold water supply from shared tank
“Outstanding service and quality. Residential Fire Protection always do a fantastic job for us, whatever size job you want doing they are equipped to help. Since they installed a Sprinkler System into a large multistorey building for us some years ago now, we have had no problems with the system at all. RFP are a very professional operation. We are currently working with them and would not look anywhere else for future projects that require their expertise. They are a safe pair of hands to deal with. Highly recommend this business”.

These systems are designed to be higher-performance than Categories 1 and 2, requiring calculations for 2–4 sprinkler heads to activate, a water flow of approximately 168–200 litres per minute, and a minimum storage tank capacity of around 6–9 cubic meters to provide at least 30 minutes of operation.
