During this time in the UK no lives have been lost where a sprinkler system has been installed.
There is now a growing recognition of their effectiveness in improving levels of life safety in
residential buildings.
In the case of social housing, care premises, homes in multiple occupation, hostels and similar
properties where fire risk is statistically greater and life safety paramount sprinklers can be
employed to protect the most vulnerable members of our society - the very young, the very old, the
disabled and the socially disadvantaged.

Sprinklers also provide additional levels of safety for fire fighters in large, complex
structures or in buildings where the fire load is excessive. With the development of the
latest concealed fast-response residential sprinkler heads combined with colour coordinated
cover plates and bezels, sprinkler installations can now be both unobtrusive and highly
responsive.
Taylor Robinson has an established track record in the residential market from single
occupancy dwellings to high rise apartment blocks. Our experience is recognized through our
