Pyro Protection

What Pyro Protection does

Pyro Protection Limited is an independent UK fire sprinkler and active fire suppression specialist, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Delph, Greater Manchester. The company designs, supplies, installs, commissions, and maintains fire protection systems for commercial, industrial, retail, logistics, aerospace, power generation, and care/education premises throughout the United Kingdom. Its service offering spans the full project lifecycle — from free initial consultation and fire risk analysis, through bespoke system design using AutoCAD and hydraulic calculation software, to off-site prefabrication, on-site installation, end-user training, and ongoing 24/7/365 service and maintenance.

The core technology centres on fully hydraulically calculated sprinkler systems complemented by a broad active suppression portfolio: pre-action sprinkler systems for high-value equipment areas, deluge and spray systems for severe fire hazards, foam-enhanced systems for flammable liquids, and both inert gas (CO2) and synthetic clean agent (HFC227ea/FM200, Novec 1230) systems for electrical, electronic, and process risks. Supporting product lines include internal and external hydrants, wet and dry risers, and hosereel systems designed to BS and NFPA standards. Off-site prefabrication is used to control fit precision and minimise on-site waste.

Pyro Protection generates revenue from four streams: one-time project-based installation contracts, professional services for consultancy and design, recurring service and maintenance programmes, and end-user training bundled into system handover. Go-to-market is consultative and enterprise-led, leveraging FIRAS and ISO 9001 certifications, memberships in BAFSA, FPA and SES, and referrals from major UK construction contractors to compete for institutional and insurer-required contracts against larger national rivals.

Products and services

• Automatic Fire Sprinkler Systems Automatic fire sprinkler systems including wet pipe, dry pipe, and tail-end configurations designed for heated premises and frost-prone areas. Fully hydraulically calculated and prefabricated off-site, these systems are installed across commercial, industrial, and residential premises.
• Pre-Action Sprinkler Systems Pre-action sprinkler systems that use air-filled pipework at low pressure with water held back by an automatic valve triggered by separate electrical fire detectors, providing prior warning of discharge and protection against accidental discharge in high-value equipment areas.
• Deluge/Spray Systems Deluge or spray systems where pipework is not pressurised and all discharge nozzles are open, triggered pneumatically or electrically by heat-sensitive detectors, providing simultaneous water application over entire hazard areas for severe, fast-spreading fire hazards including flammable liquids handling, aircraft hangars, and electrical transformers.
• Foam Enhancement Systems Foam-enhanced sprinkler and deluge systems including low, medium, and high expansion foam generators and fixed foam systems for flammable liquid fire scenarios. Foam concentrates are selected for specific applications based on speed of extinction, burn-back resistance, and fuel tolerance; used for petro-chemical plant, aircraft hangars, and warehouse protection.
• Synthetic Gas Fire Suppression (HFC227ea/FM200 and Novec 1230) Clean agent gas suppression systems that extinguish fire by reaction with the combustion process and cooling. HFC227ea (FM200) is stored as liquid and discharged as colourless gas with no residue; Novec 1230 has zero ozone depletion potential and an atmospheric lifetime of 3-5 days. Used for data centres, server rooms, telecommunication switch rooms, and electronic control rooms.
• Inert Gas Fire Suppression (CO2) Inert gas systems using naturally occurring 'green' gases that suppress fire by reducing oxygen. Cylinder banks can be stored considerable distances from the protected risk, with directional valves protecting multiple risks from single storage banks. Used for generator rooms, transformer substations, printing presses, spray paint booths, and flammable liquid storage areas.
• Hydrant Systems Internal and external hydrant systems for fire service water delivery, designed to internationally recognised standards BS9990:2006 or NFPA 24.
• Wet/Dry Risers Wet and dry rising mains providing water distribution for fire fighting purposes at individual floor levels, designed for buildings between 18-50m height (dry risers) and above 50m (wet risers).
• Hosereel Systems Hosereel fire fighting systems with permanent water supply connection for first discovery fire fighting, designed to BS 5306-1:2006.
