What we fit in Bedfordshire

Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.

Fire shutter law in England

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Bedfordshire, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Bedfordshire vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
