As we enter the colder months, some sprinkler systems are at risk of freezing. Any water in the system that freezes can compromise the effective working of the sprinkler heads and result in delayed activation or them being unresponsive – the consequences of which don’t bear thinking about!

Bucking the supply chain trend
You cannot open a newspaper or listen to the news at the moment without talk of shortages, delays, price pressures, or labour problems so we thought it may be a good idea for us to update our customer in respect of our own situation. Quite simply, as things stand, we are able to supply any of our normal manufactured and stock products …
