Black Mountain Fire Consultants - ARI Competence Verification

Last update - 01.04.2025

Based in Wales, Black Mountain Fire Consultants offers specialist fire safety solutions with particular expertise in Plumis Automist systems. As degree-qualified fire engineers, our team brings rigorous technical knowledge and meticulous attention to detail to every project we undertake.

Our Approach   
We pride ourselves on our collaborative approach, working closely with clients, building control authorities and other stakeholders to develop bespoke fire safety strategies. Rather than simply installing systems, we provide comprehensive performance-based design justifications and detailed fire risk assessments to ensure both regulatory compliance and genuine occupant safety. Our process begins with thorough consultation to understand the unique requirements of each property and its occupants. We then develop tailored solutions that balance regulatory demands with practical considerations, always mindful of the need to preserve architectural integrity whilst delivering optimal safety outcomes.

Technical Excellence  
The technical foundation of our work is built upon solid fire engineering principles. We specialise in performance-based design approaches that move beyond prescriptive compliance to create genuinely effective safety solutions. Our expertise with Plumis Automist technology allows us to offer innovative alternatives to traditional sprinkler systems, particularly valuable in heritage properties, high-end residential spaces, open-plan living, and challenging retrofit scenarios where conventional systems would be impractical or excessively disruptive.

Quality Craftsmanship   
Our installation work reflects our commitment to craftsmanship and precision. Each Automist system is fitted with exacting standards by our certified technicians, with careful consideration given to both functional requirements and aesthetic integration. We understand the complexities of retrofitting modern safety systems into diverse building types across Wales, and tailor our solutions accordingly. The quality of our workmanship is evident in the discreet, minimally invasive installations we deliver.

Our technicians take exceptional care with property protection during works, ensuring surfaces are properly covered, dust is contained, and disruption is kept to an absolute minimum. Building Relationships We maintain strong working relationships with building control authorities throughout Wales, understanding their specific requirements and concerns. This allows us to navigate approval processes efficiently whilst ensuring all necessary compliance documentation is properly prepared and submitted. Beyond installation, we maintain ongoing relationships with our clients, offering maintenance services and technical support to ensure systems remain fully operational and compliant with evolving regulations.

We provide thorough handover procedures, including detailed documentation and operational training where required. At Black Mountain Fire, we believe that effective fire safety comes from thorough engineering, quality installation and attentive service—principles that guide every aspect of our work throughout Wales and the UK.

We don’t just install Automist—we lead the way in making buildings safer, smarter, and compliant with modern fire safety regulations. Visit www.blackmountainfire.com/automist to find out more!
