What to specify
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in London?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about fire shutters
Can a fire shutter in London 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.
Do you service fire shutters across Greater London?
Yes. We service and drop-test fire shutters across Greater London, including most makes we did not install, and provide a written report for each shutter. Servicing visits are chargeable at a fixed price per shutter.
Who maintains a fire shutter at our London 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.
