What to specify
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Alarm interface. Release linked to the fire alarm and designed to BS 7273-4.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
Typical scopes of work
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
- 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.
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 Hexham, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Planning the work around your site
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Hexham
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Hexham 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.
Can a fire shutter in Hexham 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 Hexham 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.
