As most of our customers will know, we are a preferred distributor for Grundfos FireSAFE+ domestic and residential booster pump sets. In fact, we are not just a distributor, but we are a STOCKIST, and we have invested heavily – to the point where we probably have more finished stock than Grundfos themselves! This means that we can give great service on delivery, at great prices …
Christmas Wishes from SEP
At the end of another crazy – and gone-too-fast – year, the team at SEP would like to wish all of our customers (old and new, big and small) the very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Thank you, again, for keeping us on our toes and extremely busy! We will be closing for Christmas on the afternoon of Thursday 21st, …
SEP’s oldest compressor?
We are always receiving photos of compressors on dry, alternate or tail-end fire sprinkler systems – call us ‘sad’ but we always love to see them, whether they are ours or someone else’s (especially someone else’s actually, as that means that it’s likely to be replaced with one of ours!). Almost exclusively, this is because they are not working for …
Sprinkler Saves
It seems there are endless news articles about fires… House fires https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/hounslow-house-fire-family-dead-b2448455.html Fires in flats https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/fire-flats-shadwell-tower-block-london-b2415031.html Industrial fires https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/hse-south-wales-police-pontypridd-b2464049.html Car park fires https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/luton-airport-fire-car-park-b2430230.html So periodically we highlight some ‘not fires’ which were prevent by fire sprinklers – fire sprinklers being the most effective and most proven method of preventing fire worsening or spreading, as well as saving the lives of householders, workers and firefighters…as …
Zone Guardian Residential

Less familiar will be our Zone Guardian Residential range for small-bore …
Big compressor, small footprint
Air compressors for dry, alternate and tail-end systems are a huge part of our business at this time of year, especially when many alternate systems are drained down and switched over to air…for the maintenance/changeover team only to discover a problem with the compressor. The last thing you or your client want is to be left without a working system, …
Orifices’r’us
It just rolls off the tongue doesn’t it…try and say that 10 times fast when you’ve had a few (maybe at Emma’s after-work drinks )! The photo above shows just a few of the 120 stainless steel orifice fittings which we fabricated for one of our key customers recently – it certainly kept one of our new technicians busy for a …
Compressor season is coming
Dry and alternate fire sprinkler systems play a vital role in fire protection, particularly in regions where freezing temperatures are a concern – for us, the UK is a major market. Dry and alternate systems rely on compressors to maintain the integrity of pipes and sprinkler heads during the harsh winter months, as they prevent freezing and ensure that the …
Boards Aplenty
For some reason, SEP has been unusually busy with pump initiation boards over the last few months. We’ve been busier than ever anyway (thank you to all our customers), but disproportionately so with Pump Initiation Boards. We don’t always know what drives these patterns of ups and downs, but we are pretty sure that the following all help… Our BS5306/wet-riser …
