What we fit in Galashiels
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- 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 Galashiels?
The dutyholder, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Galashiels vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Galashiels?
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.
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Galashiels 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.
Do you service fire shutters across the Scottish Borders?
Yes. We service and drop-test fire shutters across the Scottish Borders, 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.
