Commercial sprinkler installation in Buckinghamshire is mostly two kinds of building: offices, often fitted out for a new tenant, and the warehouses and distribution units around Milton Keynes that their insurers want protected. Sentry Sprinkler Protection designs, installs and commissions fire sprinkler systems to BS EN 12845 for commercial buildings and BS 9251 for residential parts, and hands over the drawings and certificates that prove them. Milton Keynes is 24 miles from our base in Kettering. Sentry Sprinkler Protection does this work across England from its base in Kettering, ISO 9001 certified.

Office sprinkler installation

Office sprinkler installation in Buckinghamshire is usually tied to a fit-out: a floor being stripped and relaid for a new tenant, or a building brought up to what its insurer now asks for. The pipework shares the ceiling with ventilation, lighting and cable routes, so the layout is agreed with the other trades before the first bracket goes up.

Where an office is occupied, the work can be split floor by floor so the building keeps running. The design, the order of work and the isolations are written into the quotation, not decided on the day.

Warehouses and distribution units

Milton Keynes holds one of the largest concentrations of modern warehouse and logistics floorspace in the country. In a building like that, the insurer normally sets the sprinkler requirement, and the storage height and the goods stored decide the design: ceiling protection alone, or in-rack sprinklers as well.

A change of tenant or of racking is the moment to check the system again. A design that suited one occupier can be wrong for the next, and finding that out at the insurer survey costs more than finding it at the planning stage.

Mixed-use buildings and residential parts

Where a building combines commercial floors with flats, or an office is converted to residential use, the residential parts are normally designed to BS 9251 and the commercial parts to BS EN 12845. A residential building over 11 metres is expected to have sprinklers under Approved Document B. We design the two parts to work from one water supply where the building allows it.

From survey to handover

  • A free survey of the building, the water supply and what the insurer or the fire strategy requires.
  • A design and a fixed price in writing, with the programme and any phasing set out.
  • Installation planned around your tenants or your construction programme.
  • Flushing, pressure and flow tests and commissioning, then the drawings and certificates at handover.

  • Lewis W. Sprinkler installation, warehouse

    Had them install a full sprinkler system across one of our warehouses, and couldn't be happier. They were professional from start to finish and the on-site team were genuinely friendly to work with. […] Highly recommend if you would need your building or warehouse properly fire-protected.

  • Mike C. Weekly maintenance, testing and repair

    Sentry Sprinkler Protection have recently taken over the weekly maintenance, testing and repair of the […] sprinkler equipment. They are providing a excellent service, good value and they are also very helpful when on site.

  • Sam E. Sprinkler pipework installation

    Couldn't recommend [Sentry] enough. Their work ethic, consistent efficient install of the pipework and overall approach to a project should be something every sub-contractor strives to mirror. Marius is incredibly approachable and methodical in his work with laydown areas kept very neat and tidy and all work carried out in a safe manner.

Questions about commercial sprinkler installation in Buckinghamshire

How far into Buckinghamshire do you travel for installation work?

Milton Keynes is 24 miles from our base in Kettering, and installation work anywhere else in Buckinghamshire is planned the same way. Send the address and we will confirm it before anything is booked.

Can sprinklers be installed while a Buckinghamshire office stays occupied?

Usually, yes. The work is split into floors or zones so the rest of the building keeps working, and the order and the isolations are agreed in writing before we start. Some noisy or messy parts may need to be done out of hours.

What does an insurer need to know before a warehouse in Buckinghamshire is protected?

The storage height, how the goods are stored and what they are, and whether the water supply can deliver the design flow and pressure. The design standard is normally BS EN 12845, or the insurer's own rules where it sets them, and we design to whichever applies.

What happens when you ring

You talk to Marius Bucur, who runs the company and prices the work. Not a call centre.

  2. A straight answer

    Whether it is a job for us. If a building would be better served by someone closer, we will tell you that too.

  3. A free survey, on your dates
