We’re aware that for a while, we have been quiet on the news front and social media – but not because we have been standing still — quite the opposite. Over the last year, we have been focused on building our systems, strengthening our processes, investing in our people, and most importantly, delivering for our customers. From commercial property portfolios to critical infrastructure and end users such as Network Rail, our priority has been simple: do the job properly and keep our clients safe and compliant.

Today, however, we have a very good reason to speak up – we are now BAFE SP105 Certified!

What BAFE SP105 Means for Our Customers…

BAFE certification is not a badge you buy. It is earned through independent audit, technical scrutiny, and ongoing surveillance – for our customers, this means:

1. Independently Verified Competence

Our technical procedures, quality management systems, and service delivery processes have been assessed by a UKAS-accredited certification body. This provides third-party assurance that our work meets recognised national standards.

2. Compliance with Legal and Regulatory Expectations

Under the Building Safety Act and existing fire safety legislation, duty holders must appoint competent providers. BAFE SP105 certification demonstrates that we meet defined competency criteria for rising main service and maintenance.

3. Structured Quality Management

Certification requires documented procedures, controlled records, technician competence tracking, audit trails, and corrective action processes. In practical terms: work is planned, delivered, reviewed, and traceable.

4. Technical Alignment with BS 9990:2015

All servicing and maintenance activities are undertaken to the requirements of BS 9990, ensuring systems are maintained in accordance with recognised British Standards.

5. Ongoing Surveillance

This is not a one-off exercise. Continued certification requires periodic reassessment and audit. Standards must be maintained — and improved.

We Are Not Trying to Be the Biggest…

Growth matters — but only if it is controlled, competent, and sustainable. From day one, our goal has been to operate with a focused, technically driven model, ensuring oversight, consistency, and direct accountability at leadership level.

What This Means Going Forward…

For our existing clients, including major infrastructure and commercial portfolio operators, this accreditation provides additional independent assurance of our capability. For prospective clients, it demonstrates that Sustainable Fire Protection Limited:

• Invests in governance, not just tools
• Prioritises compliance, not shortcuts
• Builds systems before chasing scale
• Seeks continual improvement

This certification represents months of disciplined preparation behind the scenes — documentation review, process refinement, internal audit, competency verification, and external assessment. We are proud of the outcome, but more importantly, we are committed to maintaining and building upon it.
