Options that matter on site
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
Fire shutter law in England
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 Worthing, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
