What to specify
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- 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 Wallington?
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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
