Options that matter on site

- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.

- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Ballymena?
Under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, the person with fire safety duties (often called the appropriate person), normally the employer or person in control of the premises, must make sure fire shutters are maintained. Your fire risk assessment should identify each one, how it is released and how often it is tested.
How the work is organised
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.
