Options for fire shutters in Leicester
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
- 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. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- 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 Leicester?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Leicester can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
