Kitchen Fire Suppression Servicing
Coordinated servicing and testing for ANSUL and Amerex kitchen fire suppression systems, helping maintain reliable protection for cooking equipment and associated extraction areas.
Overview
About the service.
Passive fire protection systems are essential for preventing the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building. Over time, damage, deterioration, poor installation and unauthorised modifications can compromise fire doors, fire dampers, fire stopping and compartmentation barriers, potentially reducing their effectiveness.
At VMES, we provide specialist passive fire remedial services to address defects identified during inspections and compliance surveys. From fire door repairs and fire damper replacements to fire stopping and compartmentation repairs, our team delivers targeted solutions to restore fire protection and support regulatory compliance. All works are supported by detailed reporting, photographic evidence and appropriate installation documentation.
