What to specify
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Hatfield?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Hertfordshire 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.
