In short

Area: Kent
Nation: England
Main town: Maidstone
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
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.
Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
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 Kent?

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

Sites in and around Kent vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions

Are your fire shutters in Kent 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.

Can a fire shutter in Kent be fitted to any wall?

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.

Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Kent?

Usually, yes. We work with your fire alarm contractor to agree the cause-and-effect and the interface, designed to BS 7273-4, and prove the shutter closes on the alarm signal at commissioning.
