Options that matter on site

- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Alarm interface. Release linked to the fire alarm and designed to BS 7273-4.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
Examples of work we can quote for

- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- 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 Rotherham?
The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Planning the work around your site
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Rotherham
Can a fire shutter in Rotherham be fitted to any wall?
No. It must be fitted to a wall of the type covered by the manufacturer's test evidence, with fire-stopping as detailed. If your wall differs, we explain what building work is needed before the shutter is ordered.
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Rotherham premises?
The person in control of the premises: the responsible person in England and Wales, the dutyholder in Scotland, or in Northern Ireland the person with fire safety duties. Check your lease to see whether landlord or tenant arranges servicing.
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Rotherham site?
A single shutter is typically fitted in one to two days, with commissioning and alarm testing on top. Lead times for fire-rated products are confirmed with the quote, and work is planned around your operations.
