Client

Following a failed building control inspection at the final stage of development, a London-based homeowner required a compliant fire suppression system for their luxury townhouse in Chelsea. Given the property’s high-end finishes and completed status, a sensitive retrofit solution was essential.

After local discussions between the builders, property developer and homeowner, the decision was made to install an iCO^® high-pressure water mist system. With its discreet nozzles, compact pump, and flexible hoses, it proved to be the ideal solution – allowing for a non-invasive installation that preserved the interior aesthetics.

The retrofit high-pressure water mist system was completed in just 7 days. The property owners’ main concern was maintaining the visual integrity of their home, and the low-profile nozzles delivered exactly that – remaining virtually invisible throughout.

Project

NPHS-UK were commissioned to design, install, and maintain a high-pressure water mist system throughout the entire Chelsea property. Following a swift consultation and review of architectural plans, the expert team provided a full design, free quotation and site survey.

To accommodate the client’s tight deadline, NPHS-UK worked closely with other on-site trades. After agreeing on a pre-preparation strategy, including cutting access points before arrival, the installation was streamlined to reduce time on-site.

The compact water mist pump was installed in a utility cupboard in the basement, chosen for its proximity to the water supply, electrical connections, and ease of access to the rest of the property. As part of an ongoing service agreement, NPHS-UK continues to maintain the system annually to ensure full operational integrity and peace of mind in the event of a fire.
