Fire shutters in Poole

The short version

Fire shutters for warehouses, factories, shopping centres and public buildings in Poole. We supply shutters carrying the manufacturer's fire test evidence and install them to the certified specification, linked to your fire alarm.

Town: Poole
Postcode district: BH15
Area: Dorset
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.

Typical scopes of work

Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.

Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Poole?

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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Poole

Who maintains a fire shutter at our Poole 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.

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

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.
