What to specify

Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.

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 March?

The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in March 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.

Fire shutters in March: your questions

Can a fire shutter in March 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.

Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in March?

Usually, yes. We work with your fire alarm contractor to agree the cause-and-effect and the interface, designed to BS 7273-4, and prove the shutter closes on the alarm signal at commissioning.

Are your fire shutters in March 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.
