Metal fire clips are devices that are used to secure your electrical cables to walls, ceilings, and other surfaces. They are designed to prevent cables from sagging, twisting, or breaking, and to prevent them from becoming a hazard in the event of a fire.
Metal fire clips for cabling were introduced in the UK to address safety concerns related to the use of electrical wiring in buildings. Electrical cables that are not properly secured can pose a serious risk in the event of a fire, as they can come loose, break, or cause a short circuit. This can lead to the rapid spread of flames, and can endanger the safety of building occupants.
Bright Spark Eletricians use Metal fire clips are made from high-quality materials, such as stainless steel or galvanized steel, which are resistant to corrosion and can withstand high temperatures. They are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate different cable diameters, and can be easily installed using screws or nails.
For Steel Wired Armour Cables, Bright Spark Electricians use for your electrial installation a specialist Heavy Duty Fire clip is used throughout the run, when attached to Solid walls. For more information and a short Video about Steel Wire Armoured Cable
The use of metal fire clips has become increasingly important in recent years, as fire safety regulations have become more stringent. In the UK, for example, metal fire clips are subject to rigorous safety standards, such as BS 5839-1:2013, which sets out the requirements for fire detection and alarm systems in buildings.
The tragic deaths of firefighters Jim Shears and Alan Bannon in the Shirley Towers blaze in 2010 highlighted the importance of proper fire safety measures, including the use of metal fire clips. In response to the tragedy, wiring regulations were changed to require the use of metal fire clips in high-rise buildings, to ensure that electrical cables are properly secured and do not pose a hazard in the event of a fire.
Overall, metal fire clips play a crucial role in fire safety, by helping to prevent electrical cables from becoming a fire hazard. Their use is subject to strict safety standards, and they are an important part of building regulations in many countries, including the UK.

What is really great about Bright Spark Electrical is that they communicate well and get the job done precisely exactly as agreed and bang on time. The job is thoroughly discussed beforehand, you know who is coming and when and have a full list of the parts to be installed. They perform tasks efficiently with no mess. They have done jobs for me in Tunbridge Wells, both in the Culverden Down area and at High Brooms and I would recommend them

I have always found Karen and her team at Bright Spark to be friendly, professional and reliable. Their quotes have been reasonably priced and provide a thorough breakdown of costs for replacements parts and labour. I highly recommend them.

We were particularly impressed by the quick response to our online enquiry and the email follow up by Karen after the job had been completed. We will definitely use her for any electrical job in the future.
Thank you for sending us Phil to restore light to all corners of our home. Most agreeable and efficient gentleman who didn't flinch visibly at the dusty mysterious corners where ancient wires lay in ceiling space and appliances wired from the dark ages.
