Options for fire shutters in Ayrshire
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- 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.
Fire safety duties for shutters in Ayrshire
In Scotland, fire shutters are part of the fire precautions the dutyholder must keep maintained under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006: in efficient working order and in good repair. Testing at suitable intervals and keeping the results is expected good practice and supports your fire risk assessment. Enforcement in Ayrshire is by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Scotland the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
