Options that matter on site

Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.

Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Thurso?

The dutyholder, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.

Access, phasing and timing

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

Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Thurso?

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 Thurso 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.

Do you service fire shutters across the Highlands and Islands?

Yes. We service and drop-test fire shutters across the Highlands and Islands, 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.
