Options for fire shutters in Rayleigh
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Rayleigh?
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.
