Options that matter on site
- 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. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
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 Preston, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can a fire shutter in Preston 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.
Are your fire shutters in Preston 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.
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Preston 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.
