What we fit in Horsham
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
Typical scopes of work
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Horsham?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in West Sussex the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
