What this work can involve

Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.

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

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.
