What we fit in Nelson
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- 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.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
What this work can involve
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Nelson?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
