What to specify
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
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 Spalding, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
How the work is organised
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Fire shutters in Spalding: your questions
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Spalding 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.
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Spalding 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 a fire shutter in Spalding 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.
