What to specify
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
What this work can involve
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- 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 Aberdeen?
The dutyholder, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Aberdeen
How long does fire shutter installation take at an Aberdeen site?
A single shutter is typically fitted in one to two days, with commissioning and alarm testing on top. Lead times for fire-rated products are confirmed with the quote, and work is planned around your operations.
Are your fire shutters in Aberdeen certified?
The certification belongs to the shutter: we supply products carrying the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance, and install them to the certified specification so they perform as tested.
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Aberdeen?
Usually, yes. We work with your fire alarm contractor to agree the cause-and-effect and the interface, designed to BS 7273-4, and prove the shutter closes on the alarm signal at commissioning.
