What to specify
- 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.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Falmouth?
The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Falmouth vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Falmouth
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Falmouth?
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.
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Falmouth 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.
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Falmouth 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.
