- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
