What to specify
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Alarm interface. Release linked to the fire alarm and designed to BS 7273-4.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
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 Buxton, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
How the work is organised
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions
Can a fire shutter in Buxton 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.
Do you service fire shutters across Derbyshire?
Yes. We service and drop-test fire shutters across Derbyshire, including most makes we did not install, and provide a written report for each shutter. Servicing visits are chargeable at a fixed price per shutter.
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Buxton 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.
