Options that matter on site
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- 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.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- 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.
Fire shutter law in England
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Richmond, the enforcing authority is the London Fire Commissioner (London Fire Brigade).
Planning the work around your site
