Options that matter on site
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Purley?
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
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
