The Ceasefire Watermist Kitchen Fire Suppression System is an automatic, fixed suppression solution designed specifically for commercial kitchen environments. It carries LPCB certification and uses fine watermist — droplets broken down to less than 70 microns — to suppress fires across the full range of cooking appliances positioned beneath a commercial extraction canopy. The system activates automatically on detection, without requiring any intervention from kitchen staff during an incident.

Detection is provided by a heat-sensing tube that runs continuously along the length of the kitchen hood. This gives uniform coverage rather than relying on individual point detectors, which means the system responds to heat developing anywhere along the canopy — a meaningful advantage in kitchens where cooking positions may change over time or where multiple appliances operate side by side. On activation, the watermist both suppresses flame and cools the affected area rapidly, which reduces the risk of re-ignition — a particular concern with fat and oil fires common to commercial cooking.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages include:

  • Automatic activation with no action required from staff during a fire event
  • Continuous hood detection eliminates coverage gaps regardless of appliance layout
  • Watermist causes significantly less collateral damage than wet chemical or dry powder alternatives
  • Effective across deep-frying, grilling, roasting, shallow-frying, and sautéing
  • Faster return to service after activation compared to many conventional suppression systems

Installation requires integration with the kitchen's extraction canopy and a reliable mains water supply. The system must be installed and commissioned by a qualified fire suppression engineer, and nozzle placement will need to reflect the specific layout and appliance positions within your kitchen. Compliance with local fire regulations and insurance requirements should be confirmed before installation proceeds. Ongoing maintenance and periodic inspection are necessary to keep the system in valid certified condition — this is not a fit-and-forget installation.

This system is well suited to commercial kitchens across a broad range of sizes and formats, from smaller café and bistro operations through to high-volume restaurant, pub, and contract catering kitchens where cooking with oils and fats is routine. Sites with larger or more complex canopy arrangements, or those with multiple separate cooking zones, should arrange a site survey to ensure the system is correctly specified for the coverage required.

Fire suppression is a safety-critical decision, and the consequences of an incorrect specification are significant. If you would like to talk through your kitchen layout and what the installation process involves, the team is glad to help you work through the detail before you proceed.

Frequently asked questions

Is this system suitable for all sizes of commercial kitchen?

The system is designed to work across a wide range of kitchen sizes, from smaller café operations through to high-volume restaurant and contract catering environments. For kitchens with larger or more complex canopy arrangements, or multiple separate cooking zones, a site survey is advisable to confirm the system is correctly specified for the full coverage area required.

What does installation involve, and do I need a specialist engineer?

Yes — this system must be installed and commissioned by a qualified fire suppression engineer. Installation involves integrating the detection tube and discharge nozzles with your existing extraction canopy and connecting to a mains water supply. Nozzle positioning will be determined by your specific appliance layout, so the installation is not a standard off-the-shelf fit.

What ongoing maintenance does the system require after installation?

Like all certified fire suppression systems, this installation requires periodic inspection and maintenance to remain in valid certified condition. The frequency and scope of servicing will be defined by the installing engineer and any applicable regulatory requirements. It is worth factoring ongoing maintenance costs into your decision alongside the initial installation.
