What to specify
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Ashington?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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
Are your fire shutters in Ashington 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.
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Ashington?
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.
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Ashington 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.
