Active Fire Protection: Supply, Installation and Maintenance from Tower Fire
Tower Fire supplies, installs, and maintains a comprehensive range of active fire protection systems for businesses, landlords, and facilities teams across the UK. Every system we specify is designed around the individual needs of your premises, not selected from a catalogue.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for any non-domestic premises must ensure that appropriate fire detection and suppression systems are in place and properly maintained. Getting the right system, correctly installed and regularly serviced, is a legal obligation, not an optional extra.
What Is Active Fire Protection?
Active fire protection refers to systems that detect, suppress, or extinguish fire either automatically or through manual operation. Unlike passive fire protection, which uses structural elements such as fire doors and intumescent seals to contain fire within defined areas, active systems respond to fire as it develops.
A robust fire safety strategy requires both. Active systems detect and respond. Passive systems contain and slow. Together, they give occupants the best possible chance of evacuating safely and limit damage to the building.
Our Active Fire Protection Services
Tower Fire provides the full range of active fire protection services, from initial site survey and system design through to installation, commissioning, and long-term maintenance.
Fire Suppression Systems: Protecting High-Risk Environments
Not every fire risk can be managed by a standard sprinkler. Where water damage would be catastrophic, or where the hazard involves flammable liquids, gases, or electrical equipment, specialist fire suppression systems are required.
Our engineers design and install gaseous suppression for server rooms and data centres, foam systems for fuel storage and industrial environments, and powder systems for plant rooms and manufacturing facilities. Every system is specified following a thorough risk assessment to ensure the right suppression agent is matched to the right hazard.
Fire Detection Systems:
Early Warning, Every Time
Reliable fire detection systems UK businesses depend on begin with proper design. A system that is poorly specified for its environment will generate false alarms, desensitise occupants, and create compliance gaps. Tower Fire designs detection systems that are correctly matched to the risk profile, occupancy, and layout of your building.
We install and commission the full range of detection devices, including optical smoke detectors, rate-of-rise heat detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and multi-sensor units, all fully integrated with your fire alarm panel and tested to BS 5839.
Sprinkler System Installation: Designed for Your Building
Sprinklers remain the most effective and widely used form of active fire protection available. A correctly designed and installed system can suppress a fire in its early stages, dramatically reducing the risk to life and limiting structural damage.
Our sprinkler system installation UK service covers wet pipe, dry pipe, pre-action, and water mist systems. Every installation begins with a detailed site survey and hydraulic calculation to ensure the right flow rate and coverage for your specific premises. All installations comply with BS EN 12845 and the relevant Loss Prevention Standards.
End-to-End Service: Survey, Installation, and Maintenance
Every Tower Fire installation begins with a thorough site survey. Our engineers assess your building’s layout, occupancy, risk profile, and any existing systems before recommending a solution. Nothing is specified without first understanding your premises.
Once the system design is agreed, our qualified engineers carry out full installation and commissioning, ensuring every component is correctly configured and tested before handover. We also provide ongoing maintenance contracts to keep your active fire protection systems compliant and fully operational throughout the year.
