Frequently Asked
Questions
Yes. We manage the whole project as your single point of contact. Sprinkler system design and installation, to BS EN 12845 for commercial buildings or BS 9251 for residential buildings, is carried out by accredited partners, managed by Delta First, with Delta First remaining accountable for the result.
In England, new blocks of flats with a storey more than 11 metres above ground have needed sprinklers since 2020 under Approved Document B. Other buildings may need them because of their use, size or a fire engineering strategy. We'll work from your building's fire strategy and the relevant guidance.
Under Approved Document B, buildings with a floor more than 18 metres above fire service access level generally need fire mains, and buildings taller than 50 metres need wet risers rather than dry. Your building's fire strategy confirms what's required.
