01 / LEAVING
“Did I leave everything safe?”
After leaving a home or closing a site, people cannot easily confirm water, gas, selected electrical zones and safety pathways from one clear status.
Designed for existing occupied properties
Protect the property you already have.
LOFAZ adds coordinated fire, water, gas and electrical-response pathways to existing homes and small sites — normally without whole-property refurbishment, complete rewiring or replacement of all utility lines.
Retain suitable systems
Local-first operation
Verified physical response
The honest promise: a property survey confirms compatibility. Limited local pipework, cabling, access panels, valve replacement, electrical work, specialist approval or making good may still be required.

Everyday customer challenges
Small delays can become expensive incidents.
LOFAZ is designed around what happens after a warning: who knows, what can be contained, whether the action physically occurred and who can restore the property safely.
02 / EMPTY PROPERTY
The incident is discovered late.
A vacant, tenanted or remotely managed property can remain exposed for hours before the right person sees the problem and acts.
03 / FIRE RESPONSE
The alarm sounds, but ownership is unclear.
A warning is valuable, yet the practical response can still be delayed when nobody is present or the escalation route is not defined.
04 / WATER DAMAGE
A leak spreads beyond one room.
Water can damage floors, walls and electrical areas, make the property temporarily unusable and continue into neighbouring homes.
05 / RESPONSIBILITY
Everyone is alerted; nobody owns the next step.
Landlord, tenant, manager, installer and emergency contact need a clear order for notification, acknowledgement, escalation and recovery.
06 / AFTER HOURS
The office or cafe is closed.
Water, heat, equipment and utility faults can grow overnight, creating avoidable damage, reopening delays and business interruption.
The retrofit principle
A safety upgrade should not become a second renovation.
LOFAZ starts with installed reality. The system is configured around usable equipment, real access, competent-trade boundaries and the response that the customer actually needs.
Keep suitable installed assets.
Record and reuse compatible infrastructure where condition, access and approved interfaces allow.
- Fire and CO alarms
- Water shut-off points and valves
- Gas-rated interfaces
- Distribution equipment and communication routes
Install only the approved gap.
Add the elements required for the commissioned protection pathway, not a blanket replacement package.
- Local safety core
- Leak, flow and condition sensors
- Approved valve or zone interfaces
- Supervised backup energy
Turn signals into accountable action.
Connect evidence, physical feedback and responsible people into one recoverable event record.
- Local protective logic
- Mobile alerts and acknowledgement
- Role-based escalation
- Inspection and recovery lock
Normally no whole-property refurbishment.
Survey before promise. Some properties will need limited enabling work because access, age, condition, shared services or compliance requirements vary. That work is identified before installation and separated clearly in the proposal.
Minimum-disruption delivery
Survey first. Add only what is needed.
The final quote separates retained assets, new components, enabling works, excluded works, testing, warranty and maintenance responsibilities.
Understand
Confirm property type, occupancy, operating hours, priority hazards and responsible people.
Map reality
Inspect alarms, shut-off points, electrical zones, access, signal routes, permissions and condition.
Fix the scope
Define what stays, what is added, local work, roles, cause-and-effect and recovery authority.
Limit disruption
Fit approved components, complete agreed local works and label every safety interface.
Prove the path
Test local action, physical feedback, alerts, escalation, backup operation, evidence and handover.
Configured protection pathways
One accountable response. Different safety boundaries.
Select a pathway to see the customer outcome and the control boundary. Final behaviour depends on the site survey and approved interfaces.
Commissioned pathwayWATER / W-01
Do not stop at “valve close requested”.
LOFAZ can combine leak and flow evidence, command the configured water valve, distinguish moving from physically closed and check whether the leak is actually contained. If containment is not verified, the event escalates.
DetectValidateContainVerifyNotifyEscalateRecover
Boundary: a physical CLOSED signal does not always prove that water flow has stopped. Sensor health, residual flow, bypasses and commissioned plumbing design matter.
One core. Three service layers.
Built around the buyer and the property.
The workflow, permissions and service level change by customer. The retrofit-first promise and commissioned safety boundary remain consistent.
Homeowners and occupants
Confidence when leaving home.
A single view of configured safety pathways, clear mobile alerts and local protective logic for an existing occupied home.
- Safe Exit status before leaving
- Local operation during an internet outage
- Water-first containment and verified states
- Authorised recovery after inspection
Commercial value
Benefits that can be measured honestly.
LOFAZ should not claim zero incidents or guaranteed insurance savings. Pilot value is demonstrated through installation, response and operational evidence.
Avoided work
Compare the surveyed enabling-work scope with a credible whole-property alternative; record compatible assets retained.
Reduced disruption
Measure installer hours, access visits, shutdown windows and the rooms or areas requiring making good.
Faster containment
Measure time from signal to requested action, physical feedback, verified containment and responsible-person acknowledgement.
Lower incident impact
Track affected zones, water duration, downtime and recovery time while avoiding unsupported prevention claims.
Portfolio control
Track tests completed, events acknowledged, repeat faults, escalation timing, service response and recovery authority.
Why LOFAZ
Beyond a collection of point devices.
Retrofit is available elsewhere. LOFAZ must earn selection through the combination of surveyed fit, local coordination, physical result verification, role-based escalation and controlled recovery.
| Buyer question | Typical point solution | LOFAZ answer |
|---|---|---|
| Can it work with the property I have? | Often focused on one device, protocol or hazard. | Survey-led retrofit plan that records what stays, what is added and which local works are required. |
| Did the action physically happen? | A command or app status may be the end of the workflow. | Requested, executing, physical, verified, failed and recovery-lock states are kept separate. |
| What happens without the internet? | Remote visibility may become the centre of the product. | Commissioned local protection can continue; connectivity loss is reported as a separate condition. |
| Who owns the next step? | Multiple people may receive the same generic alert. | Role-based acknowledgement, escalation timers, evidence and recovery authority are defined per property. |
| How is the property restored? | Reset and reopen may be treated as a simple remote action. | Inspection, permissions, lockouts and evidence determine when and by whom recovery can occur. |
LOFAZ is at concept and pre-prototype stage. These are design requirements and proof targets, not claims of a currently certified production system.
Safety and trust
Retrofit reduces unnecessary building work — not professional responsibility.
Every installation remains property-specific. Approved equipment, competent installers, documented tests and clear operational authority are part of the product.
Protection is not dependent on the phone.
Local logic and supervised backup energy preserve the commissioned response where possible; remote notifications may degrade when connectivity is lost.
The app never discharges suppression.
Any water, foam or CO₂ release remains under a certified local controller and a professionally approved cause-and-effect design.
No routine remote reopening after an incident.
Gas-rated hardware, competent design, locked recovery and authorised inspection are required.
No generic whole-building cut.
Only mapped, professionally designed selective isolation is considered, with essential circuits and safe failure behaviour protected.
Security and update commitments are designed in.
Unique credentials, vulnerability reporting, signed updates, event logs, least privilege and a declared support period form the baseline.
Closing a valve is not the end of the event.
Inspection, acknowledgement, safe reset, authorised reopening and preserved evidence complete the workflow.
LOFAZ complements compliant alarms, professionally designed systems, risk assessments, qualified installation and emergency response. It is not an emergency service, insurance guarantee or substitute for statutory duties.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before a survey.
A final technical answer depends on the property, but the commercial and safety principles should be clear from the start.
Whole-property refurbishment, complete rewiring or replacement of all utility lines is not normally required. A survey may still identify limited local pipework, cabling, access, valve replacement, distribution-board work, specialist approval or making good.
Suitable installed equipment can be retained only when its condition, interface, compatibility and safety case are confirmed. Unsupported or unsafe equipment is not silently reused.
The local core is designed to move to supervised backup energy and preserve a commissioned reserve for essential monitoring and required protective action. Internet loss is separate: local operation may continue, while remote alerts can be delayed or unavailable.
A time-limited, role-controlled water override may be designed for approved cases and is cancelled by a new leak. Gas reopening after an incident is not treated as a routine app action; it remains locked pending authorised inspection and competent procedures.
LOFAZ is currently a concept and pre-prototype venture preparing a water-first prototype, independent specialist review and controlled UK retrofit pilots. The form below records interest; it is not a promise of immediate installation.
