Fire protection in Corby is well served for alarms, extinguishers, and risk assessments. What it does not provide is LPCB certified condensed aerosol fire suppression for the steel manufacturing, logistics, and industrial infrastructure that defines Corby's economy and is currently undergoing one of its most significant investment cycles in decades.
At FirePro UK, whether it is a new installation protecting transformer enclosures, HV/LV electrical distribution rooms, diesel generator enclosures, UPS and battery storage, or process machinery, or a retrofit replacing an ageing gas suppression system, we have a certificated solution from single-enclosure to room flood scale.
Our advanced condensed aerosol technology is LPCB, UL, and VDS certificated, carries a 15-year lifecycle and a 3-year warranty, and outperforms pressurised gas systems on installation speed, cost of ownership, and environmental credentials.
With no pressurised cylinders, no pipework, and no overpressure venting required, FirePro is built for the steel, logistics, and industrial environments at the heart of Corby's commercial identity.
Tata Steel Corby Works on Weldon Road produces approximately 250,000 tonnes per year of thin-wall welded steel tube and is currently undergoing a £30 million investment programme to install a new 700-tonne combination tube mill. The ambition is to make Corby the UK's first net-zero steel factory by transitioning from gas to electric furnaces. New electric furnace infrastructure, transformer enclosures, and HV/LV power distribution equipment of this scale represent exactly the type of critical electrical fire risk that automatic condensed aerosol suppression is designed to address.
The Tata Steel Westworks site, 99 acres of former steelworks land on the western edge of the Corby Works, is being developed by Warmflame Developments into up to 1.8 million square feet of industrial and logistics space. Tata Steel's own description of this redevelopment as "a great vote of confidence in both the Corby and Northamptonshire logistics markets" reflects the scale of commercial transformation now underway in the town.
FirePro works differently from every service operating in Corby's current fire protection market.
Our patented FPC solid compound transforms on activation into a condensed aerosol that floods the protected space, interrupting the chemical chain reactions of combustion at the molecular level.
The result is rapid, clean suppression with:
Today’s modern landscape holds a myriad of fire risk challenges that demand fresh thinking, innovative solutions for a safer, greener future.
From sub stations, transformers, HV/LV, electrical distribution, and risers. FirePro swiftly suppresses fire, minimising critical equipment damage
In the era of remote sites, FirePro's versatile and easy-to-install systems offer effective fire protection without compromising efficiency.
The significant rise in imported bulk li-ion energy storage facilities from overseas may also mean a significant increase in fire risk, especially when poorly engineered. Why compromise, FirePro has the answer.
Whether on land, marine or offshore, FirePro ensures fail safe, resilient fire protection for many types of power generation, plant, machinery, even ATEX environments.
Corby sits on the A14 at Junctions 7 and 8, placing it at the intersection of the M1, M6, and A1, in the heart of the UK's logistics Golden Triangle. Earlstrees Industrial Estate on Princewood Road houses Tayto Group's snacks manufacturing operations alongside logistics, engineering, and manufacturing businesses, all carrying electrical infrastructure, refrigeration, and diesel backup requirements.
RS Components, one of the world's largest distributors of electronic and industrial components, operates significant Corby distribution and warehousing infrastructure with UPS systems, electrical distribution, and backup power running continuously across the site. Kettering General Hospital, the main NHS acute facility for Corby and North Northamptonshire, carries mission-critical backup power and medical electrical infrastructure requiring high-specification suppression for its critical systems.
The current fire safety market serving Corby covers alarms, extinguishers, risk assessments, and fire safety training across commercial, industrial, energy, and data centre sectors. Not one provider offers LPCB certified condensed aerosol fire suppression for the critical electrical infrastructure these sectors carry. FirePro UK fills that gap precisely, with certificated technology built for the environments where a standard alarm and extinguisher are simply not enough.
Yes. Steel manufacturing operations including those undergoing electrification carry significant fire risk from transformer enclosures, HV/LV electrical distribution, diesel generators, and UPS systems. Large logistics and distribution facilities carry the same risks. FirePro activates automatically without water or pipework, making it well suited to the industrial and manufacturing environments found across Corby's steel, logistics, and food manufacturing base.
Yes. FirePro UK is the UK and Ireland master distributor for FirePro condensed aerosol fire suppression, supporting specifiers, designers, installers, and end users across Corby, Northamptonshire, and the wider Midlands and East of England.
Our patented FPC solid compound transforms on activation into a condensed aerosol that floods the protected space, interrupting fire's chemical chain reactions at the molecular level. There are no cylinders, no pipework, and no pressurised agents, just fast, clean suppression with no secondary damage to electrical infrastructure, transformer enclosures, or process machinery.
Yes. FirePro is the only condensed aerosol fire suppression product to hold LPCB product certification in the UK, independently tested to BS EN 15276. This is the standard recognised by insurers, loss adjusters, and building control authorities, and is a credential no provider in Corby's current fire protection market can match for this technology category.
Passive fire protection uses structural measures such as compartmentation, fire stopping, and fire doors to contain the spread of fire within a building. Active fire protection responds dynamically on detection, suppressing fire at source. FirePro is an active suppression system that works alongside passive measures to protect the critical assets that structural measures alone cannot address.
