Design & Consultation

Installing a sprinkler system is a vital step in protecting your home, but ongoing maintenance ensures it will perform when needed. At GFS Sprinklers, our servicing plans keep your system compliant, reliable, and ready for action 24 hours a day.

Fire sprinkler systems designed around your project

Every building is different, and so is every sprinkler system. At GFS Sprinklers, we provide professional design and consultancy services to ensure your fire protection system is engineered specifically for your space, your usage, and your regulatory requirements.

Whether you’re building a new home, converting a loft, extending a property, or developing a non-commercial unit, our expert designers create systems that comply with current standards and integrate seamlessly with your building plans.

What we design

We specialise in designing fire sprinkler and suppression systems for:

  • Domestic homes

  • Residential properties including HMOs, apartments, care facilities, and multi-occupancy buildings

  • Non-commercial premises such as offices, retail units and small industrial spaces

  • Our consultancy ensures each system is designed correctly from the outset, avoiding costly changes later and guaranteeing regulatory approval.

    Our design process

    1. Site survey & consultation
    We begin with a full assessment of your property, plans, and water supply to understand your specific needs. This includes identifying escape routes, risk areas and structural constraints.

    2. CAD-based system design
    Using advanced CAD software, we create a detailed layout showing pipe routes, sprinkler head locations, system zoning and flow requirements. This ensures your design is efficient, discreet, and compliant with BS 9251 standards.

    3. Water supply assessment
    Every sprinkler system needs the right water supply. We determine whether your property is suitable for a mains-fed system or requires a dedicated pump and storage tank, ensuring reliable performance when needed.

    4. Compliance & approval
    Our design work aligns with UK Building Regulations and relevant fire safety standards, helping you secure approval from building control, architects and insurers.

    5. Full documentation
    You receive complete technical drawings, calculations and specifications — ready for installation and verification.
