Options that matter on site

Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
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.
Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.

Examples of work we can quote for

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 Weston-super-Mare, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Somerset 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.

Your questions about fire shutters

How long does fire shutter installation take at a Weston-super-Mare 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 Weston-super-Mare?

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.

Are your fire shutters in Weston-super-Mare 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.
