Options that matter on site
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
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.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Nottinghamshire?
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
For busy sites in the East Midlands the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Fire shutters in Nottinghamshire: your questions
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Nottinghamshire?
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 Nottinghamshire 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 Nottinghamshire 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.
