What to specify
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- 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 Penicuik?
The dutyholder, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
