Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.

Fire shutter law in Scotland

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the dutyholder must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Fife, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Fife vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
