Specialist installer of bespoke fire protection systems in 

commercial and residential heritage buildings.  


We offer a no compromise approach to protecting life, 

period property and possessions.

William Morris (24 March 1834 – 3 October 1896)

"...these old buildings do not belong to us only; that they have belonged to our forefathers, and they will belong to our descendants unless we play them false. They are not in any sense our property, to do as we like with. We are only trustees for those that come after us."
