Town: Mitcham
Postcode district: CR4
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.

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

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
