What to specify
- Alarm interface. Release linked to the fire alarm and designed to BS 7273-4.
- 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.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Hammersmith?
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
For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
