Options for fire shutters in Paignton
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Paignton?
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
For busy sites in Devon the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Fire shutters in Paignton: your questions
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Paignton 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 Paignton?
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.
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Paignton 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.
