Options that matter on site
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Caterham?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about fire shutters
Can a fire shutter in Caterham 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.
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Caterham 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.
Are your fire shutters in Caterham 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.
