Options that matter on site
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- 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.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Montrose?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
