What to specify
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
Typical scopes of work
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Forfar?
The dutyholder, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Planning the work around your site
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
