What we fit in Dukinfield
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
What this work can involve
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
- 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 Dukinfield?
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 local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Greater Manchester 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.
