Options for fire shutters in Brixton
- Alarm interface. Release linked to the fire alarm and designed to BS 7273-4.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
Typical scopes of work
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Brixton?
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 London Fire Commissioner (London Fire Brigade) may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Keeping your site running during the work
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Brixton
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Brixton?
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.
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Brixton 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.
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Brixton 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.
