What to specify
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
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 Yeovil, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Questions from businesses in Yeovil
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Yeovil?
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.
Can a fire shutter in Yeovil 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 Yeovil 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.
