Options for fire shutters in Welshpool
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
Fire safety duties for shutters in Welshpool
In Wales, fire shutters are part of the fire precautions the responsible person must keep maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as it applies in Wales: in efficient working order and in good repair. Testing at suitable intervals and keeping the results is expected good practice and supports your fire risk assessment. Enforcement in Welshpool is by Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
