What to specify
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Solihull?
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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
