Carswells Fire Engineering (CFE) has achieved a major industry milestone by becoming the first company to be assessed and certified under LPS 1048: Issue 6, the current standard for fire-sprinkler installer accreditation. The Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) highlighted that this certification is a requirement for approved installers of sprinkler systems and fire-fighting mains across the UK and Ireland.
Obtaining LPS 1048 accreditation demonstrates that CFE adds a strong assurance layer to its service offerings, giving clients reassurance that the systems are installed properly, reliably, and in line with regulatory expectations.
CFE is a specialist in design, supply, installation, servicing, and maintenance of fire suppression systems, including sprinkles, hydrant systems, deluge, foam systems, and bespoke solutions for high-risk applications. The company operates as a single point of accountability—handling projects end to end with in-house design, installation, and aftercare teams.
This move also signals a strong commitment to expanding CFE’s credibility and differentiation. By including LPS 1048 in their capabilities, CFE can offer a more complete package within their suppression and mechanical services workflows.
In an industry increasingly focused on compliance, safety, and quality, this certification positions CFE as a more competitive choice, particularly on projects where clients demand highest levels of assurance. The achievement reinforces CFE’s reputation as a technically capable, safety-first organisation that continually invests in elevating its credentials.
With its new status under LPS 1048 Issue 6, Carswells Fire Engineering is well placed to bid for more complex projects that require strict fire safety compliance, and to deliver greater peace of mind to clients and regulators alike.
