Options that matter on site
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
Typical scopes of work
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
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 Retford, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Keeping your site running during the work
