Options for fire shutters in Canning Town
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- 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 Canning Town?
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 London Fire Commissioner (London Fire Brigade) may ask how the shutters are maintained.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
