Options for fire shutters in Newton Abbot
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
- 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 Newton Abbot, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Access, phasing and timing
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
