Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in County Antrim?
Under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, the person with fire safety duties (often called the appropriate person), normally the employer or person in control of the premises, must make sure fire shutters are maintained. Your fire risk assessment should identify each one, how it is released and how often it is tested.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Northern Ireland 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.

Fire shutters in County Antrim: your questions
Can a fire shutter in County Antrim be fitted to any wall?
No. It must be fitted to a wall of the type covered by the manufacturer's test evidence, with fire-stopping as detailed. If your wall differs, we explain what building work is needed before the shutter is ordered.

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.
