What we fit in Bishop Auckland
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- 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.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Bishop Auckland?
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 County Durham 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.

Yes. We service and drop-test fire shutters across County Durham, 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.
