What to specify
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
Typical scopes of work
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Shirley?
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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
