Options for fire shutters in Neath

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.
Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
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.

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 Neath, the enforcing authority is Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Neath?

Usually, yes. We work with your fire alarm contractor to agree the cause-and-effect and the interface, designed to BS 7273-4, and prove the shutter closes on the alarm signal at commissioning.

Who maintains a fire shutter at our Neath 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.

Can a fire shutter in Neath 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.
