Other Fire Solutions

Aspirating Smoke Detection (Air Sampling/ VESDA)

Air sampling fire detection systems, commonly referred to as VESDA, provide very early warning of fire by continuously sampling the air for microscopic smoke particles.

These systems are ideal for environments where early detection is critical or traditional detectors are unsuitable, including:

  • Warehouses and cold stores
  • Data centres and IT rooms
  • Ceiling voids and lift shafts
  • Fire suppression-protected environments

We design, install and maintain aspirating smoke detection systems either as stand-alone solutions or integrated with traditional fire alarm and suppression systems.

Our solutions are fully compliant with:

  • BS 5839-9
  • Building Regulations Part B & Part M
  • The Fire Safety Act

Fire and Gas Suppression Systems


We provide specialist fire and gas suppression systems for environments where water-based protection is unsuitable.

Typical applications include:

  • Data centres and server rooms
  • IT and communications facilities
  • High-value or mission-critical spaces

We design and install systems using inert gases and clean agents, selecting the correct suppression technology based on:

  • Risk profile
  • Room integrity and sealing
  • Pipework and cylinder storage requirements

All systems are installed using trusted, market-leading products and supported with ongoing maintenance.
