Fire and security solutions
At ProDefend, we provide cutting-edge fire protection and security solutions designed to safeguard lives, assets and business operations. Whether it’s advanced fire suppression systems, intelligent security solutions or proactive maintenance, we ensure your premises stay compliant, secure, and fully protected.
Why are sprinkler systems required?
Legal compliance
Certain buildings must have sprinkler systems under Approved Document B of the building regulations. These systems must adhere to the British Standard (BS EN 12845), ensuring life safety protection for occupants.
Insurance requirements
Many insurers mandate sprinklers as a condition of coverage. Installing a system can reduce premiums, limit property damage and prevent costly business downtime in the event of a fire.
Compensatory fire protection
Even if your building isn’t legally required to have sprinklers, they may be recommended under BS9999 fire engineering standards to enhance safety in complex structures.
At ProDefend, we provide cutting-edge water mist fire suppression systems designed to offer superior fire control while minimising water usage and property damage. Using high-pressure water mist technology, our systems offer an innovative, efficient and environmentally friendly solution for fire protection across various sectors.
How water mist suppression works
Water mist technology fights fire in three critical ways, addressing each element of the fire triangle (heat, fuel, and oxygen):
Cooling effect
Tiny water droplets rapidly absorb heat, reducing the temperature of the fire and preventing damage to people and property.
Wetting the fuel
The mist settles on flammable materials, suppressing combustion and preventing fire spread.
Oxygen displacement
As water mist evaporates into vapour, it removes oxygen from the fire, effectively suffocating it.
Why choose water mist fire protection?
Minimal water damage
Uses up to 90% less water than traditional sprinklers, making it ideal for sensitive environments.
Highly effective
Proven to rapidly suppress and contain fires with minimal disruption.
Eco-friendly and sustainable
Proven to rapidly suppress and contain fires with minimal disruption.
Versatile applications
Suitable for a wide range of buildings and industries.
High-pressure water mist: The next level in fire protection.
The effectiveness of a water mist system depends on several key factors:
- Water mist spray quality and droplet size distribution
- Water pressure & flux density
- Sprinkler and spray head spacing
- Size and features of the protected space
Our team of fire suppression experts will assess your building type, risk factors, and compliance needs to recommend a tailored water mist system that meets the highest safety standards.
Not all fires can be tackled with water-based suppression systems. Our gas fire suppression solutions provide rapid, effective fire protection for high-value assets, sensitive equipment and mission-critical environments, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum safety.
Why choose a gas suppression system?
As an alternative to water-based fire suppression, gas suppression systems are ideal for environments where water could cause significant damage to equipment or materials, such as:
- Data centres & server rooms
- Telecommunications & switch rooms
- UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems
- Archives & libraries
- Museums & art galleries
- Laboratories & chemical storage areas
-
Gas suppression systems work by flooding the protected area with an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen or argon) or a chemical agent like Novec™ 1230. This reduces oxygen levels below what is needed to sustain a fire, effectively extinguishing it while minimising damage to assets.
-
Traditional sprinklers are not suitable for spaces where flammable liquids, gases, or sensitive materials are present. A gas extinguishing system offers rapid response, effective fire control, and zero water damage, making it an essential fire protection solution for specialist environments.
In the event of a fire, early detection is critical. A properly installed and maintained fire detection system ensures occupants can be safely evacuated, emergency services can be alerted and damage is minimised. At ProDefend, we design, install and maintain advanced fire detection systems that comply with UK Building Regulations (Approved Document B – ‘Fire Safety Measures for a Building’).

Fire system maintenance: Keeping you compliant and prepared
A fire safety system is only effective if it’s properly maintained. Regular servicing ensures your system remains fully operational, compliant with UK regulations, and ready to protect your premises.
-
- Quarterly inspections & biannual servicing
- Annual system overhauls to maintain compliance
-
- Sprinkler tank ROV inspections
- Gas cylinder exchange
- Remote monitoring for fire & security systems
Where daily or weekly system checks are required, we provide on-site technical guidance and training to ensure your team is confident, capable, and prepared in the event of an emergency.
-
Our 24/7 customer service centre provides round-the-clock emergency cover, ensuring expert support whenever you need it.
-
- Carry out necessary repairs to keep your system fully functional
- Adapt, upgrade and modify your system to ensure ongoing compliance and performance
- Enhance existing setups with the latest fire detection technology
At ProDefend, we design, install and maintain intelligent security systems that reduce risk, enhance safety and meet insurance requirements. Whether protecting against intruders, theft, vandalism or even terrorism, our layered security solutions provide the highest level of protection for your building, assets, and personnel.
Why invest in a security system?
Risk reduction
A well-designed and properly maintained security system significantly reduces internal and external threats, ensuring maximum safety for your business.
Insurance compliance
Many insurers require certified security systems as part of their coverage conditions. Our solutions add concentric layers of defence, from biometric access controls and intruder alarms to thermal imaging and remote monitoring, reducing risk and ensuring compliance.
Customised security solutions
Security isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our team will assess your specific risks and recommend tailored solutions that integrate seamlessly with your policies and processes, such as:
- Time & attendance monitoring
- Access control & entry management
- CCTV & remote surveillance
- Intruder detection & alarm systems
- Thermal imaging & perimeter protection
From design to installation, trust ProDefend to deliver cutting-edge fire and security solutions tailored to your building’s needs.
