Water Mist Systems

Independent expertise. Specialist design. Trusted protection.

Water mist systems provide an effective fire protection solution by controlling, suppressing, or extinguishing fires through the discharge of fine water droplets. These systems can offer significant advantages where water damage, space constraints, or specific fire risks must be carefully managed.

Lil Fire delivers specialist water mist system services that combine technical expertise, practical experience, and modern digital delivery. We support projects from early strategy through to detailed design, coordination, and construction support, ensuring water mist solutions are appropriate, compliant, and fully integrated into the wider fire safety strategy.

We support projects from early strategy through to detailed design, coordination, and construction support, ensuring systems are compliant, reliable, and fully integrated with the wider fire and life safety strategy.

Management

Lil Fire provides technical management and oversight to support the successful delivery of water mist systems throughout the project lifecycle. We work closely with clients, design teams, approving authorities, insurers, manufacturers, and contractors to ensure system objectives, performance requirements, and responsibilities are clearly defined and effectively managed.

Our involvement typically includes oversight of system strategy, coordination between stakeholders, review of technical proposals, and support during installation, commissioning, and handover. This structured approach helps manage risk, avoid late stage changes, and ensure systems are delivered in line with approved design intent and performance criteria.

Design

Our water mist design services cover both new build and existing buildings and range from early concept development through to detailed coordinated design. We focus on developing solutions that are technically robust, efficient to install, and aligned with the specific fire risks and environmental conditions of each project.

Design development considers system pressure, nozzle selection and spacing, pipework routing, water supplies, pump arrangements, control interfaces, and system integration. We have experience in both low pressure and high pressure water mist systems and advise on the most appropriate approach based on risk profile, application, and performance objectives.

Our designers work using Autodesk Revit, delivering coordinated 3D BIM models that support spatial coordination, clash detection, and clear integration with other building services. Digital delivery supports early identification of design risks and efficient installation.

Consultancy

Lil Fire provides independent water mist consultancy to support informed decision making and technical assurance. We advise on system suitability, feasibility, performance objectives, and compliance, and support the integration of water mist systems into broader fire strategies.

Our consultancy services are often used where projects involve alternative fire protection solutions, insurer driven requirements, or environments where traditional suppression systems may not be suitable. We provide clear, practical advice that balances fire performance, compliance, constructability, and commercial considerations.

Experience

Standards and Codes of Practice

Lil Fire is familiar with and experienced in working to a wide range of recognised national and international standards and guidance applicable to water mist systems. Our experience includes UK, European, and international standards, insurer driven requirements, and manufacturer specific design criteria.

This breadth of knowledge allows us to support projects involving complex compliance frameworks, international stakeholders, and performance based fire engineering approaches.


Water Mist System Types

We have experience across a wide range of water mist system configurations and applications, including:

  • Low pressure water mist systems
  • High pressure water mist systems
  • Local application water mist systems
  • Total flooding water mist systems
  • Automatic and manually activated systems
  • Water mist systems for special hazards and sensitive environments

This experience allows us to advise on the most appropriate system type based on fire risk, occupancy, asset protection requirements, and operational needs.


Manufacturers and Global Expertise

Lil Fire works with a range of water mist system manufacturers from across the world. We hold manufacturer accreditations that allow us to design and provide consultancy services on specific proprietary water mist systems.

This manufacturer led knowledge ensures that designs are developed in accordance with approved system parameters, tested configurations, and recognised performance data, while remaining independent in our technical advice and system selection.
