Town: Banbridge
Postcode district: BT32
Area: Down
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.

Fire safety duties for shutters in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland the person with fire safety duties (often called the appropriate person) has the duty under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 to keep fire safety measures, including fire shutters, maintained and in efficient working order. Keeping test records is expected good practice. Enforcement in Banbridge is by the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service.

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.
