Options that matter on site

Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.

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 Leigh, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

Planning the work around your site

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Are your fire shutters in Leigh certified?

The certification belongs to the shutter: we supply products carrying the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance, and install them to the certified specification so they perform as tested.

No. It must be fitted to a wall of the type covered by the manufacturer's test evidence, with fire-stopping as detailed. If your wall differs, we explain what building work is needed before the shutter is ordered.
