Below you can find some useful information about our Suppression System solutions.

Gas Extinguishing

We are experienced at the full range of gas extinguishing for all environments, which allows us to advise and provide the best solution possible for each site’s particular needs.

We can install systems such as FM200 also known as HFC227ea.

This type of system in ideal for small rooms such as comms rooms, but due to F Gas regulations, clients are generally looking for other solutions.

Silent Extinguishing

Silent extinguishing allows us to prevent damage being caused to hard drives and other electronic equipment due to the noise generated by the nozzles of gas suppression systems.

With Silent Extinguishing, we can offer a system that doesn’t generate this noise with acoustic/silent nozzles, therefore, lessening any damage being caused.

We can offer a completely new installation or simply upgrade and make some simple changes to an existing system such as the nozzles being changed.

It also may be necessary to change the values and look at the discharge times. Along with other options, all delaying the systems currently in place.

Water Mist

Water mist systems are completely natural system and use no chemicals. We offer a range of products and systems depending on the customer requirements.

Sheriff Group can design and install the correct system for each application, including nozzle selection to deliver the correct drop size and mist spray.

There are generally two types of Water Mist systems: cylinders-based and low-pressure pump-based.

Sheriff Group can help decide on the type of system to suit each requirement considering things such as space, installation routes for pipework etc.

Service and Maintenance

Our fully qualified engineers have a wealth of knowledge within the extinguishing industry covering a wide range of products. This allows us to make sure that your electrical and mechanical elements are in top working order.

We also hydrostatically test or replace cylinders that are over 10 years old, which is required by law to make sure your system is compliant. We inform all clients when the cylinders are coming up to 8 years old to allow them to forecast this into their budgets.

We also offer maintenance and replacement of portable extinguishers. Our maintenance package on portable extinguishers includes all items to perform a valid maintenance per extinguisher, items such as Clips, Tags, O Rings and Seals. We also calculate the room size to check in the required number of extinguishers are present in each room.
