Advanced water mist systems for efficient fire suppression
From specification and installation through to commissioning and maintenance, we provide complete water mist systems for fire suppression tailored to your building and risk profile.
Suppression Expertise
Engineered Mist Systems designed in line with relevant British Standards and performance criteria.
Reduced Water Damage
Fine mist technology uses significantly less water than traditional sprinkler systems.
End-to-end Delivery
Design, installation, and ongoing maintenance under one managed contract.
Nationwide coverage
Regional engineering teams operating consistently across the UK.
Precision matters in fire protection.
Mitie Fire & Security designs and installs high-performance Water Mist Systems that deliver effective fire suppression while minimising water damage.
Using fine water droplets, these systems cool flames rapidly, displace oxygen and control fire growth at an early stage.

- We will always put you first to meet your needs
What are Water Mist Systems?
Water Mist is a fire suppression solution that use high-pressure nozzles to discharge ultra-fine water droplets.
These droplets absorb heat efficiently and reduce oxygen levels around the fire, suppressing combustion quickly.
- Detection and activation mechanisms
- High-pressure pumps or stored pressure units
- Specialised mist discharge nozzles
- Pipework and control interfaces
- Monitoring and maintenance protocols
Unlike a traditional mist sprinkler system, water mist technology delivers targeted suppression with reduced water consumption and less collateral damage.
How mist fire suppression works
Because the droplets are significantly smaller than those used in a standard sprinkler system, they create a larger surface area for heat absorption while using less water overall.
- Rapid cooling of flames and surrounding surfaces
- Oxygen displacement within the fire zone
- Heat absorption through evaporation of fine droplets
Efficient suppression. Controlled impact.
Mitie Fire & Security delivers engineered mist fire suppression solutions built around your risks and operational priorities.
Where Water Mist Systems are used
Water Mist Solutions are suitable for a range of environments.
- Data centres and server rooms
- Heritage and listed buildings
- Residential and care facilities
- Commercial offices
- Industrial and manufacturing sites
- High-value asset environments
They are often selected where water damage must be minimised or where space constraints limit traditional sprinkler infrastructure.
Compliance and Water Mist Systems
Water Mist Fire Suppression Systems must be designed and installed in accordance with recognised standards and manufacturer guidance.
- Correct hydraulic calculations
- Appropriate nozzle selection and spacing
- System commissioning and testing
- Routine inspection and maintenance
- Documented servicing records
Mitie provides full certification and reporting to support regulatory and insurance requirements.
Ongoing maintenance and servicing
A mist fire suppression system must be regularly inspected to ensure readiness.
Without maintenance
- Pumps may lose efficiency
- Nozzles may become obstructed
- Detection interfaces may drift
- System performance may degrade
Our structured servicing programmes ensure your Water Mist Fire Suppression Systems remain compliant, operational and ready to activate.

FAQ: Water Mist Systems
What is a mist fire suppression system?
A mist fire suppression system uses specialised nozzles and pressurised water to produce fine mist that suppresses fire while minimising water damage.
How does a mist sprinkler system differ from a traditional sprinkler?
A mist sprinkler system uses much smaller water droplets and less water overall compared to conventional sprinklers, reducing collateral damage while maintaining effective suppression.
Are Water Mist Systems suitable for sensitive environments?
Yes. Water Mist Systems are often used in data centres, heritage buildings and environments where water damage must be minimised.
How often should a Water Mist System be serviced?
Water Mist Systems require regular inspection and servicing in line with British Standards and manufacturer guidance to ensure compliance and performance.
