Options that matter on site

Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.

What this work can involve

Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.

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 Brislington, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Brislington can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Brislington

Are your fire shutters in Brislington certified?

The certification belongs to the shutter: we supply products carrying the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance, and install them to the certified specification so they perform as tested.

How long does fire shutter installation take at a Brislington site?

A single shutter is typically fitted in one to two days, with commissioning and alarm testing on top. Lead times for fire-rated products are confirmed with the quote, and work is planned around your operations.

Can a fire shutter in Brislington be fitted to any wall?

No. It must be fitted to a wall of the type covered by the manufacturer's test evidence, with fire-stopping as detailed. If your wall differs, we explain what building work is needed before the shutter is ordered.
