Options that matter on site

Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.

Fire shutter law in England

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Chorley, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Lancashire 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.
