We work with South Wales Fire and Rescue Service and independent safety experts to make sure that fire safety standards in our buildings meet or exceed Welsh Government regulations.
Our duty of care to you means we must comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Installing automatic sprinkler systems in over 2000 of our properties is just one of the ways we are meeting these requirements which keep you safe in your home by reducing fire risk for you and your neighbours. For the system to work effectively, sprinklers must be installed in all individual flats. .
Sprinklers are a fantastic fire safety measure which prevent a fire from developing, reduces the risk of harm from fire, and reduces fire damage to a premises.
