Options for fire shutters in Formby
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Formby?
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.
How the work is organised
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.

Fire shutters in Formby: your questions
Are your fire shutters in Formby 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 Merseyside?
Yes. We service and drop-test fire shutters across Merseyside, 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.
Can a fire shutter in Formby 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.
