What to specify
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
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.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
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 Exeter, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Exeter 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.

Fire shutters in Exeter: your questions
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Exeter?
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.
Can a fire shutter in Exeter 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.
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Exeter 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.
