Options for fire shutters in Peterborough

Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.

Jobs we can carry out

Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
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 Peterborough, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Frequently asked questions

How long does fire shutter installation take at a Peterborough 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 Peterborough?

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.

Are your fire shutters in Peterborough 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.
