Fire shutters in Loughton: your questions

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.

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.

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.
