Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Bathgate?
The dutyholder, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.
How the work is organised
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about fire shutters
Can a fire shutter in Bathgate 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.
Are your fire shutters in Bathgate 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.
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Bathgate 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.
