Residential and Domestic Fire Sprinkler Design

All our design engineers are fully qualified and QSD has invested in the latest hydraulic calculation software to assist our design team in working with architects and other design consultants across the UK. We have designed systems for large care homes to one bed bungalows so no job is too big or too small.

Our design only package includes full CAD designs and hydraulic calculations for residential and domestic fire sprinkler installers across the UK.

We are pleased to be the chosen fire sprinkler designer for many companies for a quotation of design costs with no obligation contact us.

Full CAD Design Drawings

A full set of CAD design drawings are provided with every design pack, these show clearly the sprinkler head positions, dimensions and other relevant requirements to help on site installation.

Hydraulic Calculations

As required by building control we will provide all the hydraulic calculations needed as part of our design. If a tank and pump system is required we will also calculate this and provide sizing’s to suit.

Common Questions

A fire sprinkler system is a network of piping charged with water either from a water main or fire pump and tank. Fire sprinkler heads are connected to the pipework in the areas to be protected.

There are basically two types of fire sprinkler head, pendant or concealed, either can be wall or ceiling mounted.

CPVC is an engineered thermoplastic piping it does not support fire, and will only char when subjected to flame. In fire conditions, it performs superbly, and it has a twenty year proven track record for this application.

Supplied pump sets and valve groups are bespoke. This ensures that each fire sprinkler system has a pump set or valve group designed and built for its particular requirements.

All components are approved and tested and carry manufacturer’s warranty. Once assembled, they are fully tested in our workshop before being taken to the site.

Fire sprinklers are generally installed within the heated envelope of a building and should not require frost protection.

Frost protection will be required for pipe work, fittings and pump sets when they are likely to be exposed to temperatures below freezing, this may be an outhouse, garage, porch, sheds and even loft spaces.
