What to specify
- 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.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Ilkeston?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Ilkeston 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.
