Typical scopes of work

Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Sittingbourne?

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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

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

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.

Do you service fire shutters across Kent?

Yes. We service and drop-test fire shutters across Kent, including most makes we did not install, and provide a written report for each shutter. Servicing visits are chargeable at a fixed price per shutter.

Can a fire shutter in Sittingbourne 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.
