Fire sprinkler systems are no longer just for commercial buildings, they’re becoming a smart, forward-thinking choice for homeowners across the UK.

Whether you're building from scratch, converting a loft, or opening up your living space, a home sprinkler system gives you more freedom in design and more protection for your family.

Under the latest British Standard (BS9251:2021), these are known as Category 1 systems; designed specifically for single-family homes and private residences.

At GFS, we specialise in designing, installing, and maintaining these systems with precision and care.

Why Choose a Home Sprinkler System?

 

• Instant Response: Our systems activate within seconds of a fire breaking out, containing the blaze and buying critical time for emergency services.
• Discreet Design: Pipework is hidden, heads sit flush to the ceiling, and once installed, you’ll barely notice it’s there.
• Flexible Coverage: Whether you want full property protection or just key areas, we’ll tailor the system to suit your needs.
• Peace of Mind: Protect your loved ones, pets, possessions, and even the irreplaceable, from classic cars to cherished keepsakes.

Sprinklers aren’t just a safety feature. In many cases, they allow for open-plan layouts or loft conversions that might otherwise be restricted by fire regulations.

 

Not Just for New Builds

 

Even if building regulations don’t require sprinklers, they’re still your best defence against fire. Retrofitting is often simpler than people expect, especially with mains-fed systems. We’ve installed systems in existing homes for under £3,000. Proof that safety doesn’t have to come at a premium.

 

What Does It Cost?

 

Property Type Typical Cost Range Notes 3-Bedroom Home (Full System) £4,500 – £7,000 Based on 10–20 sprinkler heads on a Mains-Fed System. 

 

Costs vary depending on project size, layout, and water/power supply requirements.
