What we fit in Farnworth
- 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.
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
Jobs we can carry out
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.

Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Farnworth?
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.
Planning the work around your site
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.
