We recently attended a CPD training session with iMist Fire Suppression, where we explored the benefits of mist systems compared to traditional sprinkler systems in both retrofit projects and new builds.
The session explained how mist systems can be incorporated into design and specification writing. We also discussed how they can be recommended within Building Surveys and Condition Surveys across Brighton & Hove, East Sussex and West Sussex.
As Chartered Building Surveyors, we regularly manage Fire Insurance Claims. This experience allows us to clearly see the practical benefits of mist fire suppression systems.
How the Mist Fire Suppression System Works
The mist system runs on mains water and uses up to 80% less water than a traditional sprinkler system. It is compact, efficient and highly effective.
The system works by tackling all three elements required for combustion. It:
- Reduces temperature
- Removes fuel
- Displaces oxygen within the room
This multi-action approach enables rapid fire suppression while minimising water damage.
Our Experience with Fire Insurance Claims
As Chartered Building Surveyors, we regularly manage Fire Insurance Claims. This experience allows us to clearly see the practical benefits of mist fire suppression systems.
If you find yourself dealing with fire damage, we can act on your behalf and liaise directly with the Loss Adjuster to secure a full and appropriate refurbishment.
Fire Risk Assessments for Residential Properties
Following the tragic Grenfell Tower fire, demand for Fire Risk Assessments has increased significantly, particularly in high-rise residential buildings.
We can arrange Fire Risk Assessments through competent assessors across Brighton & Hove, East Sussex and West Sussex. We also prepare clear specifications of works based on the findings.
Compliance and Suitability for Retrofit and New Builds
The iMist fire suppression system complies with current Building Control requirements and regulations. It is suitable for both residential retrofit projects and new build developments.
As Building Surveyors, we only recommend safe and certified systems within our specification writing and survey reports.
