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.

What this work can involve

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.
Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.

Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Greenwich?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
