Fire shutter law in Scotland
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the dutyholder 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 Crieff, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
How the work is organised
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.

Your questions about fire shutter servicing and drop tests
Do you test shutters in Crieff outside working hours?
Yes. Out-of-hours visits are available because testing closes the opening. We agree the timing and confirm any out-of-hours price in the quote.
Who is responsible for fire shutter maintenance at our Crieff site?
The person in control of the premises, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, under fire safety law. Leases often set out whether landlord or tenant arranges it, so check yours.
What happens if a fire shutter in Crieff fails its test?
We tell you on the day, explain the cause and the risk, and quote any repair. Your fire risk assessor should know about a shutter that is out of service until it is fixed.
