What is Automist^®?

Automist^® is a ceiling-mounted fire suppression system that uses smart heat detection and targeted water mist to suppress fires quickly and efficiently. Essex is one of the fastest-growing counties in England, with new residential developments, commercial premises and mixed-use schemes emerging across Chelmsford, Brentwood, Colchester, Southend and beyond. Automist is well placed to serve all of them.

It is particularly suited for Essex properties and premises including:

Commercial offices, retail units and business premises
New-build and recently extended properties
Hospitality and leisure venues
Mixed-use and multi-occupancy developments
Care and supported living environments

Automist^® meets UK fire safety standards in full and is regularly specified by Essex building control officers and architects where enhanced fire protection is required under current regulations.

How Our Misting Systems Work

Automist^® takes a smarter approach to fire suppression than traditional sprinkler systems. Using precision detection and directional mist, it identifies and tackles fires quickly, reducing both risk and the secondary damage caused by water.

1. In the event of a fire, the system is triggered automatically by a ceiling mounted detector.

2. Automist^®'s sprayheads will scan the room to look for temperature changes indicating a fire.

3. If danger is detected, the sprayhead best positioned to tackle it targets it with watermist.

4. Watermist removes heat, suppressing the fire while minimising water damage to the building.

Why Choose a Water Mist System in Essex?

Automist^® provides modern, reliable fire protection that suits the full range of Essex buildings, from new-build commercial premises to older properties undergoing improvement, without the cost and disruption of a conventional sprinkler system.

Discreet, low-profile ceiling-mounted design
No large water tanks required in most installations
Suitable for new builds and retrofit applications
Quick to install with minimal disruption to operations
