Fire regs for loft conversion? Mist system - any experiences?

[pomegranate15]

Hello all, we've just had our loft converted and, due to the open plan living / dining room downstairs, we've been told that we need to install a mist system (like a sprinkler system) to comply with building/fire regs.

In all it's going to cost us £3k so we're not at all happy. And I can't find anything online about it, except from the companies who manufacture and install them.

Does anyone have any similar experience or knowledge they can share? I wonder whether putting up a fight is pointless...

Thanks so much!

From previous experience with Building Control you won't need the curtain with the fire suppression.

Send me an email and we'll look after after you.

We had the exact same experience with thos PUCK devices. Amost flodded our flat.

@Linda33kent , could you please let me know what you did in the end ?

Did you go with plumis ?

We had an Automist system installed last year as part of a loft conversion. On top of the installation cost, you'll also pay £240 once a year for a technician to come round and check that it's still working. Assuming you plan to live in the house for another ten years, that adds up to £2,400. Taking that into account, other options might be cheaper.
