Options for fire shutters in Berwick-upon-Tweed
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- 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.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
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 Berwick-upon-Tweed, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Access, phasing and timing
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
