What we fit in Witham
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
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.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.

In England, fire shutters are part of the fire precautions the responsible person must keep maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: in efficient working order and in good repair. Testing at suitable intervals and keeping the results is expected good practice and supports your fire risk assessment. Enforcement in Witham is by the local fire and rescue authority.
