What to specify
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
Fire shutter law in England
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Gloucestershire, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
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.

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.
