Answering Your Questions
What is a commercial kitchen fire suppression system?
A commercial kitchen fire suppression system is a specialised safety system designed to detect and extinguish fires in high-risk kitchen areas. It typically uses a combination of heat sensors, nozzles, and a fire-suppressing agent to automatically put out flames at their source, usually in cooking equipment like fryers, grills, and hobs.
Do I need a fire suppression system in my kitchen?
If you’re operating a professional kitchen, especially in sectors like education, healthcare, or hospitality, then yes, a fire suppression system is strongly recommended and often required by insurers and safety regulations. It’s one of the most effective ways to protect your staff, property, and business continuity.
How is a kitchen fire suppression system installed?
Our kitchen fire suppression system installation service includes a full site assessment, customised design, and professional installation. We’ll fit the system around your existing equipment with minimal disruption and ensure it meets all relevant safety standards and manufacturer specifications.
How often should a kitchen fire suppression system be maintained?
We recommend routine kitchen fire suppression system maintenance every 6 to 12 months, depending on system type and kitchen usage. Regular servicing helps ensure the system remains in top working condition and complies with fire safety regulations.
What happens if the suppression system activates?
When activated, the system will automatically release a fire-suppressing agent directly onto the affected cooking equipment. It will also typically cut off the power or gas supply to prevent reignition. After activation, the system must be reset and recharged by a qualified engineer before the kitchen can resume normal operations.
Is your fire suppression system suitable for schools and hospitals?
Yes, we regularly install kitchen fire suppression systems in schools, colleges, and healthcare facilities. These environments have strict safety requirements, and our systems are fully compliant with UK regulations, making them a dependable choice for public sector kitchens.
