"Sprinkler systems have a very long service life – up to 50 years"
  • Losses from fires in buildings fitted with sprinklers are one-tenth of those in unprotected buildings.

  • In buildings protected by sprinklers 99% of fires are controlled by sprinklers alone; 66% of fires are controlled by using no more than five sprinkler heads.

  • The chance of a sprinkler going off accidentally is 1 in 10 million.

  • The average maintenance cost for a sprinkler system is £800.

  • Sprinkler systems have a very long service life – up to 50 years.

  • Sprinklers only discharge 10% of the water used by the fire services, so considerably reducing the risk of water damage.
