Options that matter on site
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
- 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.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- 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 Portsmouth?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Fire shutters in Portsmouth: your questions
Can a fire shutter in Portsmouth 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.
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth 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.
