Fire protection in Lowestoft is entering a new era. The Port of Lowestoft is now one of the UK's most strategically significant offshore wind energy hubs, with operations and maintenance bases for some of the world's largest offshore wind farms operating from the town's deep-water quayside. The critical infrastructure that comes with this demands a level of fire suppression that no current competitor in Lowestoft's fire safety market provides.
At FirePro UK, whether it is a new installation protecting diesel generator enclosures, UPS systems, HV/LV electrical distribution rooms, control room electronics, or marine vessel maintenance environments, or a retrofit of 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 offshore energy, marine, and industrial environments at the heart of Lowestoft's transformed economy.
The Lowestoft Eastern Energy Facility, a £35 million ABP port development opened in January 2025, provides 350 metres of deep-water quayside with berths for Service Operation Vessels and up to 8 acres of operational space. It is the confirmed construction support base for RWE's Vanguard West and East offshore wind farms, and hosts ScottishPower Renewables and SSE Renewables operations and maintenance bases for East Anglia ONE and Greater Gabbard.
These facilities operate electrical infrastructure, control systems, UPS installations, diesel generators, and marine vessel maintenance environments continuously and around the clock. James Fisher Marine Services, which opened its renewables base in Lowestoft in 2017, adds further offshore supply chain operations to the port estate. FirePro works differently from every competitor currently serving Lowestoft's 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:
Lowestoft Fire Safety Services, backed by the LS Fire Group, covers alarms, extinguishers, kitchen suppression, and compliance. FGS Fire Protection offers residential water mist for domestic properties. Neither operates in the critical-risk commercial and offshore energy suppression category that FirePro UK serves.
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.
Lowestoft is England's most easterly town and has transformed from a historic fishing and shipbuilding port into an offshore wind energy hub of national significance. The Lowestoft PowerPark masterplan covers 24.7 hectares of port, dock, and industrial land and has already attracted over £43 million in investment and created more than 900 jobs across three Enterprise Zones.
The offshore wind operations and maintenance bases at the port, the Birds Eye frozen food production facility with its refrigeration and process infrastructure, and Cefas, the Defra marine science centre currently undergoing a multi-million-pound redevelopment, all carry electrical infrastructure, backup power, and critical systems that require automatic suppression at source. A standard fire alarm detects and alerts. It does not suppress a fire inside a generator enclosure, a UPS installation, or a control room. When those assets are involved, the damage happens in seconds.
The proposed Sizewell C nuclear development on the Suffolk coast is expected to drive further supply chain growth across the Lowestoft and East Suffolk area, adding further power generation and critical infrastructure demand to a market already underserved for industrial suppression technology. FirePro UK fills that gap with LPCB certified, non-pressurised, automatic condensed aerosol suppression built specifically for environments where nothing else is adequate.
Yes. Offshore wind O&M bases including those with electrical control systems, UPS infrastructure, backup power, diesel generators, and vessel maintenance areas are among the most appropriate environments for FirePro condensed aerosol suppression. The system activates automatically without water or pipework, causes no damage to sensitive electrical and control infrastructure, and is available in ATEX-rated variants for potentially explosive atmospheres.
Yes. FirePro UK is the UK and Ireland master distributor for FirePro condensed aerosol fire suppression, supporting specifiers, designers, installers, and end users across Lowestoft, Suffolk, and the wider 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 offshore control systems, marine electronics, or electrical infrastructure.
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 that no competitor in Lowestoft's current fire protection market can match for critical-risk commercial and industrial suppression.
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.
