Options for fire shutters in Brighton
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Brighton?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in East Sussex the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
