Fire safety duties for shutters in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland the person with fire safety duties (often called the appropriate person) has the duty under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 to keep fire safety measures, including fire shutters, maintained and in efficient working order. Keeping test records is expected good practice. Enforcement in County Down is by the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Fire shutters in County Down: your questions
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in County Down?
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 County Down 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 a fire shutter in County Down 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.
