What to specify

Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
Alarm interface. Release linked to the fire alarm and designed to BS 7273-4.
Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.

Examples of work we can quote for

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 Newbury, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Newbury can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions

Who maintains a fire shutter at our Newbury premises?

The person in control of the premises: the responsible person in England and Wales, the dutyholder in Scotland, or in Northern Ireland the person with fire safety duties. Check your lease to see whether landlord or tenant arranges servicing.

How long does fire shutter installation take at a Newbury 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.

Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Newbury?

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.
