What to specify
- 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.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Manchester?
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 local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Greater Manchester the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about fire shutters
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Manchester 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.
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Manchester 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.
Are your fire shutters in Manchester 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.
