Options for fire shutters in Swanley
- 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.
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.

Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Swanley?
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
Sites in and around Swanley 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.

Questions from businesses in Swanley
Are your fire shutters in Swanley 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 Swanley 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 Swanley?
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.
