What we fit in Holyhead
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Alarm interface. Release linked to the fire alarm and designed to BS 7273-4.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
Fire shutter law in Wales
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as it applies in Wales, 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 Holyhead, the enforcing authority is North Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Gwynedd 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.
