What we fit in West Sussex
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- 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.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
What this work can involve
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
- 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 West Sussex?
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
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.
