Options for fire shutters in Letchworth Garden City
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
- 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 Letchworth Garden City?
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.
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.

Your questions about fire shutters
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Letchworth Garden City 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 you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Letchworth Garden City?
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.
Are your fire shutters in Letchworth Garden City 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.
