What we fit in Lanarkshire
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
What this work can involve
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- 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 Scotland
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the dutyholder 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 Lanarkshire, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Fire shutters in Lanarkshire: your questions
Can a fire shutter in Lanarkshire 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.
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Lanarkshire?
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 Lanarkshire 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.
