Options that matter on site
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- 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.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
Typical scopes of work
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Christchurch?
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.
How the work is organised
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
