Options for fire shutters in Herne Bay
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- 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. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
Typical scopes of work
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Herne Bay?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Kent 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.
