What to specify
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
Typical scopes of work
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Bridgwater?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
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 Bridgwater
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Bridgwater 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.
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Bridgwater 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.
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Bridgwater?
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.
