Options that matter on site
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
What this work can involve
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Northumberland?
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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
