Generally speaking, a residential system will be installed in higher risk properties like Care Homes, Hostels, or Flats in (HMO’s) which have been poorly converted. (PCB’s).
Residential Fire Sprinkler systems are being installed throughout the UK. They are a relatively recent development, and like any other plumbing system, the pipe work is concealed within the fabric of the building.
