Options that matter on site
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- 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.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
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 Andover, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does fire shutter installation take at an Andover 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.
Can a fire shutter in Andover 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 Hampshire?
Yes. We service and drop-test fire shutters across Hampshire, 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.
