Options that matter on site
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
What this work can involve
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in South Glamorgan?
The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as it applies in Wales. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and South Wales Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in South Glamorgan can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
