Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.

Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.

Examples of work we can quote for

Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.

Fire shutter law in Wales

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as it applies in Wales, 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 Newtown, the enforcing authority is Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
