What to specify
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
What this work can involve
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- 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 Seaham?
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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Seaham 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 Seaham: your questions
Are your fire shutters in Seaham certified?
The certification belongs to the shutter: we supply products carrying the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance, and install them to the certified specification so they perform as tested.
Can a fire shutter in Seaham 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.
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Seaham 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.
